Default You're invited to my new Yahoo Group, "Fragrant Miniature Roses"

Hi Marshall,

You're most welcome.

You could try drying the foliage more quickly indoors by using heat
(including from artificial lights) and/or fans. I wouldn't overdo
either, though. Another thing I've done, to remove excess moisture
after spraying, is to gently tap or shake the foliage, even tapping
individual leaves.

Please inform us of your results, if you try any of it. I know I'm
interested.

the plant outdoors in a sunny location so it could dry quickly.


Well, I live in Milwaukee and in the winter the temp is too low
to bring the roses outdoors. I have tried spraying them with
a solution of aloe and the dilute hydrogen peroxide solution
sounds interesting. I will use google groups to see if others
have talked about this.

Thanks very much Dan!
