Rust.

Anyone had any problems this year? What a pain this wet weather is, no sooner have i sprayed then we get a shower.

Despite fortnightly spraying with sulphur some of the roses I look after have had mild rust ( i normaly pride myself on perfect rose foliadge). I now switched to Nimrod T (bupirimate)((trade fungicide)) and things are improving.

Think ill give up on sulphur next year and try using rovral WP (another trade fungicide).

Obviusly I do also manually remove and burn the bad leaves.

 

Woo, do you make the bordeaux mix up yourself? Never seen it availabe comercially only in rip off small bottles at the garden centres.

Ill try the baking powder.

Thanks.

 

Woo, a treasure trove of mysterious concoctions-what is a bordeaux mixture made up of-you must know.

 

Clair,
Sulphur and copper sulphate I think but im not sure of the proportions

 

Thanks Paul, will now google it to death.

 

Thanks woo.

 

Just checked it-thanks Woo
