Why dwarf roses disappear - diseases and pests of plants

Tell me, what diseases and pests can be affected dwarf roses? I still have a small collection, but from time to time I encounter unpleasant situations - either the leaves are folded up, or some insects crawl on them. I would like to know about possible problems and how to solve them.

Charming dwarf roses are the miniature embodiment of the garden on our window sills. Thanks to them, you can admire the delicate flowers almost all year round. In addition, they look great in this garden, complementing their larger relatives. However, even despite the indoor growing conditions, such plants also suffer and suffer from various insects.

Especially often diseases and pests affect those dwarf roses, which are improperly cared for. As a result of excessive or insufficient watering, lack of nutrients or inappropriate conditions, tender flowers often get sick and even disappear completely.

What are dwarf roses for?

The most common miniature roses suffer from such diseases:

1. Mealy dew .First, the leaves, and then the whole plant is covered with white bloom - mold. It is important to detect the disease at the initial stage, until it hits the whole bush - then you can do by removing blotted leaves and treating the rose with Fundazole. Otherwise you will have to cut the rose to the root.
2. False Mealy Dew .It differs from the previous disease in that the plaque most affects the inner side of the leaf plate, as well as wet areas. Treating a plant is similar to getting rid of powdery mildew.
3. Spotting .Manifested with the beginning of the flowering period: small spots are formed on the leaves, and over time they completely dry out. Sick foliage must be cut and sprayed with a copper-containing preparation.

Increased temperature and humidity are ideal conditions for spotting on roses, and excess fertilizer and lack of fresh air contribute to the development of powdery mildew fungi.

What pests can attack rose bushes?

Dwarf roses are very fond of such harmful insects as: asphid

• ;
• leafworm;
• spider mite;
• caterpillar moth;
• shield;
• pink sawfly.

Since the appearance of the spider mite is favored by dry air, to prevent its appearance, dwarf roses should be periodically sprayed and bathed.

Most pests can be eliminated by traditional methods, such as treating roses with garlic or tobacco extract. If the damage is massive, it is better to use special drugs, for example, Aktelik, Fufanon, Strela.
