You have very precisely
detailed the symptoms of Botyritis.
Rotting on the stem is typical.

It usually goes away once dry
hot summer weather approaches.

If you're comfortable w/ that thats OK too.

If you see my roses, they have NO botrytis.Or powdery mildew or downy
mildew. Some of them are getting spotted from rain. Seen it happen for 7
years to them. Some just rot on the stem, Brides Maid especially. Not
enough heat to make all my roses pop.
Seems like some of my roses have a very high petal count, Very dense buds,
They just don't open until the 2nd or 3rd bloom cycle.

Sorry I don't understand.
Water by itself does not
cause any damage.

It promotes growth of Fungii.
The fungii cause discoloration.

I have seen rain cause colored spots on my roses. No fungus here.
Just bugs.

Same thing happened to one of my iceburg roses. Its next to
several
red
roses including a Mr Lincoln and now it has red spots all over the
flowers.

I think that its partly due to the weak nature of the particular
plant.
Another iceburg in the same bed, which is stronger, is not
affected.

Oh no!!!! I saw the pictures and I do have a fungus!! Whats the best spray
to use?

The best spray to use is Spray Van Lines. Wo Gest! but stop a few hundred
miles before you get to that coast.

m

for you this might mean some ocean voyages but you won't regret it, at least
you'll be out of the Swamps.

Your right, I do have Botrytis. I just never thought of it as that until I
read all the things posted here. I just dead headed the rotting flowers and
now we have some heat here, and am in the 2nd bloom cycle now
.....................No more problems. I live in Wine grape growing country.
Heard of grapes getting THE NOBLE ROT.........botrytis. Never thought of it
happening with roses.

I guess if I keep an open mind, I learn something.............Duh !
Thanks for the info !
