Rose Show Notes What to Do Now For Better Roses
Roses are growing fast and require a regular dust or spray program to prevent disease. Use fungicides like Phaltan or Manzate for blackspot and isotox for general insect control, with caution on DDT near sensitive plants. Fertilize with organic plus chemical feeds, water adequately, prune side buds on hybrid teas and grandifloras, and keep buds well hydrated to ensure timely show blooms.
