MILDEW

What is it? Mildew is a fungus that some varieties are more susceptible to. It looks like grey/white powder on the leaves and buds. Don't worry, lots of roses get this. It's unsightly, but doesn't do much damage and is easy to get rid of.

Advice: Spray with a systemic fungicide like Systane,Tumbleblite or Rose Clear. Give the plant a good feed and mulch to help prevent recurrence. Do not allow plants to dry out.
