I'm Bill Elzey with Showplace lawns. Let's talk about how to overcome fungus diseases
in roses. Granted there's many types of varieties of roses but the fungus problem is the same
for all of them. The primary cause of fungus in roses is over watering. Any time if there
is way too much water and a little bit of cool weather, or just too much water and the
roots do not dry a fungus is activated. Primary fungus in roses is black spot fungus. Easily
to detect by the black spots and the yellowing of the leaves on the plant. First thing to
do to overcome these problems is to control your watering. Water less. Water a lot less.
More times then not a best watering schedule for roses is once every other day, depending
on your climate you might get by once every two days. Now remember also that high humidity
can trigger a fungus as well. So you need to monitor humidity and change your watering
habits. Once the problem occurs a good way to get rid of that is to go the refrigerator
get you some milk, mix fifteen ounces of milk with a hundred and twenty ounces of water.
And then spray the plant. Do this once for about three weeks, once a week for three weeks.
Three or four times of a milk spray should control that fungus really well. Then watch
your watering habits and monitor your humidity. Those are the ways to overcome fungus in roses.
