Looking for Bayer Advanced Disease Control

| Hi, This is my first post here :) I have noticed that after so much rain and now some nice warm weather, my roses have started to get some black spot as well as one bush that has lots of mildew over almost the entire plant.
I did some searching and found an overseas forum that recommended Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, it is a fungacide. They said it was a great product that "cured" the black spot and mildew and stopped it coming back.
I have just been to my local Bunnings and they didn't have it. I also can't find it doing a Google search of Australian sites. Does anyone know of this product and if it might be called something else in Australia? or can you recommend a different product please? I have tried Yates Rose Gun and found that it didn't do much as all. Thanks for any help. |

| If you spray your rose bushes with a fungicide eg Lime Sulfur after the Winter prune that should top a lot of mildew have a look at the link below.. I don't think you can stop black spot I have tried for many years, the roses still look pretty even with those coloured leaves, or pull them off bag and bin them.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Yates Lime Sulphur

| Yes, lime-supher mix in winter sprayed or poured with a watering can with a 'rose' head over the whole bush after you have done your winter prune and over the surrounding soil so as to kill off the (fungal) spores that winter over in the soil. And, I reckon at least monthly, spray with a fungicide such as Triphorine perhaps a bit more often if you are also suffering mildew. Good air circulation for roses is also important especially in humid areas. You might also consider varieties resistant to diseases, such as the old fashion varieties - they may not repeat flower as much as the modern hybrids but they are, generally, much more resistant. |

I have always used a spray of 1 part full cream milk to 7 parts water. The fat in the milk seems to stop the mildew and
black spot. I don't know how it goes in very humid conditions,but I didn't have to spray my roses last year.
Good luck chas |

| I've heard of the milk and water treatment too Chas, seems to work. I was told by a rosarian that if you have roses, you take black spot as a given, if you leave the old leaves on the ground it will grow back. |

| I tried that milk/water spray for two years not only did it start to get very expensive as I was told to do it every two weeks it did not work here with the high humidity. |

| I think I'll stick to my method, Triphorine fungacide with a systemic such as rogor or malathison (excuse spelling) or Labaycid (now too expensive) about every 8 to 10 weeks or less keeps all the funguses, the aphids, the scales and the azalea lace-bug at bay. Also regular (weekly) deadheading of spent flowers and dead wood (dieback) keeps my lot healthy, happy and blooming all season. |
