Default Diseased `Hansa'?

Mark, are you saying you know rugosas hate spray of all kinds and that
you spray your plant anyway? My Blanc Double de Coubert dropped all its
leaves when I foliar fed it one year.


Ny Hansa has been getting sprayed and fed with a systemic for about ten
years now. Even with severe annual pruning, it's over 6' tall and 6'
wide. If spraying is stunting it, all I can say is thank goodness :-).

Amd yes, a lot of rugosas don't like sprayed. The closer to the original
species rose the more dislike. But Hansa (and Delicata, and Marie
Bugnet) is not one of them.
