Tip of the Week

The common Rose diseases; blackspot, mildew and rust overwinter as spores in leaf litter around the base of the bush and also on the branches. Always remove fallen leaves and never leave rose prunings lying around. Such debris would re-infect healthy growth in the spring.
It is also a good idea to remove any old foliage that remains on the bushes during the spring prune.
