My White Dawn Rose looks horrible
I've always had great big long lasting blooms on my White Dawn Rose.
This year, the top leaves are brown/yellow, and the blooms seem to be rotting before they open. Good soil, careful watering, no bugs or creatures I can see. Anybody have an idea what's happening? Will I loose the bush? Please and Thank you. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk? ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://76.16.160.118:8080 weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org |

OOOPS
Forgot to say, Chicago area, so weather has been ok. And very few cicadas in my area. "FireBrick" wrote in message . .. I've always had great big long lasting blooms on my White Dawn Rose.

Good day Firebrick, With out seeing a photo of the rose, it sounds very much like Botrytis. Look here and see if it looks like your rose. http://pep.wsu.edu/hortsense/scripts...c ategoryID=1 Good luck, Timothy -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I hope these help as my web search of Botrytis didn't look so much like what
I see. http://www.qsl.net/w9ol/rose1.jpg http://www.qsl.net/w9ol/rose2.jpg http://www.qsl.net/w9ol/rose3.jpg rose 2 really shows the yellow/browning of leaves. rose 3 shows how they look rotten even before they bloom. This bush has bloomed every year, with a major blooming and then lesser blooms through the summer for a decade. And it was a gift from a friend since deceased so I'd really like to save it.
