Rose is the queen of flowers. It is gorgeous and wonderful but is one
of weakest plants, too. Rose is always damaged by diseases and pests.
And if you have rose in your garden, here is the information you
should know.

Common rose diseases vary by area, as the fungi which cause many of
them are affected by temperature and moisture. Some of the most common
rose diseases are Black Spot Disease, Powdery Mildew, Rust, and Rose
Mosaic.

While rose diseases do not always kill rose plants, they often affect
the leaves and make it more difficult for the rose to survive in the
winter. Step-by-step sowing instructions:

Black Spot Disease

This disease, as its name implies, appears as black spots on the upper
surfaces of the rose’s leaves. It is caused by a fungus, which is
allowed to propagate in moisture, which can come from rain or watering
over the leaves instead of down at the soil. It can also be caught
from other diseased plants, as the fungus can spread through fallen
leaves, or even through composting of diseased leaves and stems. It
causes most diseased leaves to drop off early, but survives through
the winter on any leaves that manage to stay on the rose. It can also
survive through the winter on the stem.

Rust

This disease is not harmful at low levels, merely causing small orange
growths on the underside of leaves. At higher levels, leaves begin to
be damaged, which can damage the plant since the leaves are the part
of the plant that produces energy.

Powdery Mildew

This disease is different from other common rose diseases, as Powdery
Mildew does not need water. This growth, which resembles a white
powder, occurs on the top and bottoms of leaves and on stems. In the
summer, if roses are free of any fungi caused disease, Powdery Mildew
can simply be hosed off of affected roses and thus, can be easy to
take care of.

Rose Mosaic

This viral disease does not kill plants. Many rose gardeners do not
need to deal with this disease, as all it does it cause splotches,
often yellow and green, to appear on leaves.

There are many other rose diseases, and which ones are the most common
in each area changes depending on the weather in that area. Ask for
free gardening advice from neighbors, friends, and fellow rose
growers, or pick up one of the many books available on growing roses.

To avoid getting rose disease, start by buying disease free plants
from the garden supply store. There are also many disease resistant
variants of roses, which while still susceptible to disease, are at
least less likely to become diseased.

Once a plant is diseased, there are many gardening tips available as
to how to deal with these. An easy gardening tip is simply to prune
away the affected areas.

Be careful not to leave any diseased leaves on the ground, and don’t
put the diseased leaves and stems into compost, as compost does not
always reach the temperature need to kill the fungi, and when the
compost is used, the fungi will spread to the roses again. To help
prevent reoccurrence of the disease, or an occurrence of any other
disease, keep the rose beds clean. Clear away fallen leaves and pull
any weeds.

These common rose diseases should not be too much of a gardening
problem for any rose gardener, as, with early detection, they can
easily be destroyed without the death of the entire rose bush and
garden.
