Tip of the Week

How to Identify Rose Rust.
Rose rust is a fungal disease that rapidly causes early defoliation of the plants and sometimes results in the death of the plant.
As the environment becomes cleaner , Rose rust is becoming much more common.
The first signs of the disease are yellow mottling of the lower leaves. On turning a few of the leaves over the bright orange pustules of the fungus can easily be seen.
It is imperative that you treat your roses before these pustules turn black as this is when they are ripe and can spread to neighbouring bushes.
