Welcome to the World of Rose Gardening or Rose Gardening World. We are here to educate you about The Rose – our National Floral Emblem and the state flower of several states. Roses have been around for millions of years which just prove that Roses are easy plants to grow contrary to popular belief. We are constantly updating our contents so visit Rose Gardening World often. We want to help you grow beautiful roses and we welcome comments. Take time and smell the roses and Happy Rose Gardening!
In spring after you have finished pruning your roses to the
desired look, you should spray all the bare canes and the surrounding soil with
Lime Sulfur. Be sure to spray both the tops and undersides
of the foliage and spray the ground as well.
Lime sulfur is a fungicide that will kill
any disease spores like blackspots, anthracnose and other overwintering fungi
which is the objective. It will also
kill insects that have survived the freezing temperatures in winter.
Read the label for recommended dosage. This concoction is quite gritty and will clog
the best sprayer tip you have and is quite smelly too. I have used Lime Sulfur once years ago and it
clogged my sprayer. I didn’t like the
smell of it too so I stopped using it.
Some rosarians strain through an old pair of pantyhose or even better –
mix it in an old blender if you have one.
Use it only for chemicals in the
garden. Please wear protective gear
for safety reason. Be sure to wear old
clothes, gloves, eye protection and the like.
