Hello All,

2 weeks ago I found that I had Black spot as well as Thrips on my 15 potted
roses. Went to the nursery and picked up some Orthanex. This has cleared
up the Black Spot, but my buds and blooms are still coming in deformed. Can
anyone help me with this problem.

BTW, it will be over 100 here in Las Vegas today! (Yeah, but it's a dry
heat).

Please reply to

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Thanks

Steve, if Orthenex is a systemic insecticide then the thrips would
surely have been killed. However it won't undo the damage thrips would
have caused to your buds when they were still alive.

I'd suggest waiting a few weeks more and see how you go...
