Thank you! I have a few questions:
- I'm guessing we should keep the 15 ounces milk + 120 ounces water - spray in the refrigerator? What do you suggest?
- When is the best time to pray the roses? Morning - before the sun fully comes out? Same day or different day from watering roses?

Thank you!

thanks for your advice :)

it puts the lotion on the skin, it DOES WHAT ITS TOLD

The fungus on my roses is a thick layer of greenish gray fuzzy build-up on the branches. I live in Florida and we had a wet winter.

My mistake was over watering, I'll try this advice for the fungus I gave my roses. Thanks alot...

Thanks for sharing Bill. I have used your tips since last year. :) I usually cut off the fungus leaves, place in a paper bag and throw in the trash to eliminate the spread of fungus. Also remember to clean your pruning tool so you do not spread fungus to other bushes.

It has rained 20" in the last MONTH here lol my roses are fucked and i live in Dallas Texas.

Thank you very much to the advice.

Only time my rose bush gets watered is when it rains, too bad I can't control mother nature!.

Thank you that great information. I have my Mom's Rose bush and it has fungus but I will do your fix. I have a question, There is mulch around the Rose bush, could the mulch be why my bush is getting fungus? The mulch is holding too much moisture? Thanks

I'm so glad to hear this. I have hummers and all sorts of birds, a few bees and butterflies. I've been holding off because I did not want to use chemicals.

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful.I am one of those over waterers!!I know better now.Will also try the milk solution, have never heard of doing that, but what could it hurt?I have noticed beetles on my roses,also use insect spray designed for roses.Hope all turns out well.

rain less?

Than you so much for this advise I'll spray some milk in my roses tomorrow for sure.

It amazes me how a know it all watches a how to do video then comments against it. Stupid idiot.

We have had a drought, and I did not water rose till yellowing with spots got worse. So there must be other ways this problem kicks in. Spring was pretty dry too. So was past winter.

I think he just saved my roses. But, the video made me a bit uncomfortable because he seems extremely dehydrated and uncomfortable. Therefore I was uncomfortable. You KNOW he wanted to guzzle that milk. lol

@chandnee could be spider mites, but I dont grow roses so it may be something else, I just wanted a method to control fungus

i think he needs a milk spray, was he about to have a heatstroke during this filming of this video? but yea, that does work! great tips

The best method for keeping your roses disease free is to prune heaver to keep your plant open, so during its blooming months it has space to breath.
