Aphids, black spot, and mulch, etc.

Both say pests locate your roses by smell and the strong smells of these alliums prevent them from finding your treasures. That seems a valid theory to me. Then again, I underplant lavender between my roses. It's supposed to have the same masking effect, but my bushes still get infested. This year the pests been far fewer than in previous years, but I attribute that to a better spraying program this season. I say this because my 'picking' bed at the back of my house is not underplanted with anything - it suffers no more or less from pests than my display bed which have lavender. |
