» Mark_Whitelaw - This disease is quickly spreading throughout our area. It is gua This disease is quickly spreading throughout our area. It is guaranteed to kill your rose! Three more roses are suspected of the disease. Most definitely, it attacks *all* classes of roses, not just the antiques. Today I saw at least 5 modern Hybrid Teas with the disease.I urge all of you to monitor your roses very carefully as they put on new growth for the fall. For those of you in northern climates, keep a keen eye out next spring. MarkW>Ft. Worth, TX/Zn 7b, Rose Garden -- posted by Mark_Whitelaw » WilliamG - I haven't heard of any outbreaks down here in the Houston area. I haven't heard of any outbreaks down here in the Houston area. So, it will attack HT's and antiques. I would guess that it would affect miniatures also as some are a favorite food for the spider mites. Have you seen or heard of any infections of miniature roses? Has the disease reared its ugly head in and around Tyler, TX?I will probably get back into spraying with Fruit, Nut, and Veggie spray soon but we are still experiencing record 94o to 98o highs here in Houston. Actually I haven't seen too much evidence of blackspot or other diseases on the roses, but I will try to get back to spraying as the weather cools.

RE Tyler: The first confirmed cases in a cultivated Texas garden setting have been here in the DFW area, but it has been in East Texas' (near Tyler) wild stands for the past 8 years. MarkW>Ft.
