It sounds like what we call "odium" here (NW France). I buy a powder to
treat it. Hits oak, roses, dahlias and so on.

I have a mildewy sort of deposit on the leaves of the cucumbers in the
greenhouse, and a whole pile of white powder on the privet (I think it's a
privet - boring old hedge) across the garden.
Anyone know anything about this sort of thing? Is there anything I should
do

If it's the same thing, this is the second year running it has ruined my
Clematis viticella when heavily in bud, and is just starting to attack
the sweet peas which are flowering prolifically.
