Care
- Parts of the plant infested with mildew must be cut off, otherwise the disease can spread further. To prevent new infections, the rose can be treated with appropriate fungicides. - If infected with star sooty mould, all diseased leaves (black spots) should be removed. If necessary, treatment with suitable fungicides is also recommended. - To encourage the formation of new flower buds, wilted flowers should always be cut back to the next fully formed leaf. - Roses should never be planted where roses have already been growing. If no other planting site is available, the soil should be generously replaced. - Susceptible sculpted and bedding roses must be specifically protected from diseases and pests. As soon as the shoots have reached 10-20 cm, the plants should be sprayed regularly (every 2 weeks) against fungal diseases. Pests such as aphids should only be controlled in the event of heavy infestation.
