Default LIme sulfur or copper or sulfur spray

Hi
Oops I have pruned this afternoon whilst the heat was in the day. A person
of supposed gardening knowledge said he thought the reason for not using
Lime Sulphur would be that it would make the ground more acidic...........
Lets hope the roses survive.....they have looked so good this year.

Hi All

I have just read an article in the gardening section of Friday's paper in
regards to pruning roses, they state after pruning you should spray roses
& ground with either copper or sulfur spray but not lime sulfur spray.
Why is this when Yates put out a product Lime Sulfur spray that states to
do this, I am confused.
What is the difference in these sprays?
Yes I have been on google to find all this out & left confused.
Cheers
Sandra
