Natural Remedies for Common Rose Concerns
Every gardener knows the terrible feeling of finding pests and disease on their beloved plants. Common pests for roses include aphids, mites, scale, whiteflies, etc. Aphids reproduce rapidly and like tender new growth. Spider Mites are found on the undersides of leaves and may cause stippling damage. Scale have dome-shaped armored coverings and attach to stems of roses that are grown in damp or shady conditions. Whiteflies are found in warmer climates or greenhouses and typically feed on the underside of leaves.
Fortunately, there are natural remedies that can aid your fight for a healthy garden.

Powdery Mildew appears as light gray or white, powdery spots. It is transferred by wind and needs to be treated quickly to prevent spreading to other plants. Blackspot is caused by a fungus and spreads by rain or overhead watering and may cause leaf drop if untreated. Rust commonly occurs in the spring and fall and first appears as small orange spots on the leaves and can cause leaf drop if untreated. Powdery Mildew, Blackspot and Rust all thrive in warm temperatures and high humidity.
