What to watch for (diseases)(Tim)
live in Loveland CO, very similar to the eastern plains of our state.
The common problems with diseases are powdery mildew on new growth and black spot on the mature leaves. Rust is not very common and downy mildew is also uncommon. As to pests, thrip and aphids are the usual critters. Well Tim, my description of where I was, 'eastern plains of CO' ? I too am in Loveland. *g* I differentiate 'eastern plains' with my second abode in the Roaring Fork Valley (I flyfish).... And yes, the description above is what I remember was on them; although there WERE little bug critter 'holes' in the leaves. I'm going to take this seriously this year and follow along with you all on the newsgroup. Tim, I know this is brash, but sometime after my roses all get 'up', could I talk you into drifting by the homestead here to look them over, hem and haw and make pronouncements ? Apologies if this is outside realm of newsgroups. cheers you all, thanks ! I have to be at H. Depot today and will pick up the book suggested in one of the responses to my post. SUE |
