How too Identify Powdery Mildew Of Roses
Mildew is a fungal disease that quite often attacks the youngest growth and flowerbuds before spreading to all the other leaves and stems.
It is thought that mildew is encouraged by dryness at the roots and that is why climbing and rambling Roses are often the first to be infected.
The characteristics of the disease are distorted shoot-tips and more conclusively a white powdery deposit on the foliage, flowerbuds and stems.
In severe cases the rose may look like a grey folige shrub.
