What do I use early on before serious infestation occurs to help this
rose?

I have some Nearly Wild bushes that had a persistant case of mildew two

running. I sprayed with everthing I could find and kept the damage down

curled and dusty looking leaves and the occaisional dried up bud, but
nothing
cured the problem. Last Fall I sprayed with lime sulfer after the plants
went
dormant. So far the plants are clean this year with just the normal 7 to
ten
day Funginex program. Early on, in this case, meant the prior Fall,

Again, Thanks for all the great ideas. I think I'll try just a little of
each one just to be sure.
