Diseased Roses? Now there is a better way.
Purchase pest and disease resistant cultivars.
This “Queen of Flowers” is still a very popular plant for all gardens however keeping them pest and disease free has been one of the biggest turnoffs for modern gardeners.
Purchase roses that are immune to the fungal diseases of rust, powdery mildew and black spot. Other varieties exhibit resistance to aphids. Read the label to find out if the one you like is resistant. Or conduct a simple internet search to find out what others recommend.
Disease resistant roses have been bred specifically to produce clean and attractive plants carrying lovely flowers. Some of the earlier varieties were less attractive than those available today. This breeding has involved cross pollinating naturally occurring resistant varieties with modern roses to create this new realm of attractive plants.
Naturally there are savings for gardeners and horticulturists. No sprays to purchase and a lot of time saved to spend on other things. For the garden ecosystem less sprays to harm our insect, bird and reptile populations means a healthier garden all round. Best of all no impact on the bee population which are vital for pollinating many of our edible plants.
With a little bit of homework and research we can all choose roses that require less work and are better for the environment and have wonderful flowers in the home.
