Summer Rose Care – Disease & Insect Identification and Control, 2014    

                                                       By Jim Wagner

 In looking back over the past year, our rose and vegetable gardens flourished with little or no need to water and by fall some of our roses were six to seven feet tall with lots of buds and blooms and minimal blackspot. A harsh winter, including sub-zero temperatures following a January thaw and other times did serious damage to roses and other plantings.
