apple scab on my roses

Post by Micaela »

The leaves of my 2 yellow roses are attacked by this fungus. I have some red rose too but it seems they aren't attacked yet. I'm using a fungicide, but everyday the rain wash it away. What can I do? Have I to cut all the damaged leaves? This year my roses are full of flowers, they haven't had so many roses before, I don't want to see the plants dying :(

If you are using a small sprayer, try a few drop of liquid soap and baby oil. This will help as a sticking agent. :)
