Default Blackspot on roses near tree

So that is what Messenger is for. I'll have to look into it.


Take a look at my pictures on the Imagestation site. The difference is
unmistakable. I am a skeptic, and it takes a whole lot of convincing, with
hard, reproducible facts, and unquestionably obvious results, to persuade me
of anything, especially something intangible.

See for yourself. Group 1, is the treated group of seven minis. The picture
of three from the top down, are the smallest three from each group.

The other photos, are of some of the others in my gardens. They were all
sprayed with Messenger once, and just the seven minis int he control group
didn't get it. I sprayed it again last weekend, but it rained yet again
unexpectedly, so I may have to reapply it. The relative absence of blackspot
is nothing short of a miracle, as much rain as I have had. I did get a round
of botrytis, but a spray of Banner Maxx took care of that, and they
rebounded beautifully.

I am still counting buds and basal breaks on the seven controls vs. seven
treated minis, to ensure this was not just a fluke. But they are so
obviously healthier that it doesn't take a close look to see the difference.
