Roses - Rose Nurseries - Care - Growing and Rose Varieties
Powdery Mildew
Caused: by the fungus Sphaerotheca pannosa
Leaves, buds, and stems are covered with a white powdery coating
Treatment: fungicide application. Pruning and romoving l dead or diseased canes in the spring will reduce the initial fungus population
Black Spot
Caused: by a fungus Diplocarpon rosae . Can cause almost complete defoliation of bushes by early autumn . It produces a weakened bush, leading to cane dieback, stem canker.
Treatment: fungicide application. Diseased leaves on the ground should be collected and disposed of, (not in compost)
ROSE PESTS Aphids
Pyrethrum sprays, garlic sprays, soap sprays, white oil, a blast with the hose. Possums
Possums chew the new growth on roses. Spraying them with a solution of quassia chips and water, is a suggested remedy as is lime sulphur spray. A spray called 'Poss Off' is available.
ROSE PRUNING
Once established ( 2-3 years ) climbing roses need to be heavily pruned each year, by removing up to 1/3 of the old growth you give the climbing rose a chance to renew itself, stronger growth and better flowers. Remember its the healthy young growth that produces the flowers. Remember you are aslo pruning for shape, so start by removing any suckers from from below the graft, then remove any weak, twiggy or dying growth, then remove unwanted growth, canes that are growing in the wrong place. Now its time to be ruthless, remove up to 1/3 of the old growth. When pruning and training climbing roses you need to encourage the main canes to grow horizontally in order to s encourage side shoots to grow from the main canes, climbing roses flower at the end of shoots so this way you will have more shoots and more flowers.
Remember to dispose of all cuttings and clean up all leaves dropped on the ground, this helps prevent disease.
POSSUMS EATING ROSE BUDS
Possums love rose buds, so what can be done to deter them?
Possum deterents include:
Poss Off, a deterrent made of a mix of chilli and garlic.
Camphor is said to be a deterent to possums.
Scat, made from aluminium sulphate.
D-Ter is an animal repellent.
Arbor Co's Poss Off, an electronic device that emits ultrasonic sound waves.
Stray Ban is another electronic device,

Roses :: Rose Care and Growing Hints
Roses are the most popular flowering plant in the world, originating in China the first cultivated rose varieties were first introduced to Europe in the late 18th century. But even before this roses had their place in Europe, the War of the Roses between York (the white rose) and Lancaster (the red rose), the rose collection of Josephine at Chateau de Malmaison and the use of roses in Roman celebrations.
Roses are bred in a range of growing styles or varieties and all have a place in the garden:
Bush roses
Standard roses
Climbing Roses
Carpet Roses
Growing Roses. In brief, roses like lots of sun and good air circulation, a soil rich in humus, moist but well drained. Mulch around roses to retain moisture, and water well when establishing, but remember, once established roses and reasonably drought tolerant.
