Black spot, mildew, botrytis and other disease and  insects are all much better prevented than cured.  Once we have them we must change our entire approach in caring for our roses.  I have talked before about taking time to smell the roses and scout for pest while you are at it.  This walk through the roses goes a long way to heading off an extreme case of pestilence in our roses.  If we are vigilant we will see the beginning of a problem and adjust our spray schedule in time to stop the problem in its tracks.  How do we adjust our schedule to reign in a problem?  First and foremost we must identify the problem so we know what is needed to attack it.  Here is when you can use Roses inc. Tulsa to help.  Bring us a sample of the problem.  Get a cane with several sets of leafs on it and put in a plastic bag and bring it to us to view.  We have a great way of magnifying the pest and showing it to you on the scree so there is know doubt as to what the problem is.  This viewing also helps us to pick up on the beginning of an additional pest that may be active at the same time.  We will then recommend the proper procedure to remedy the problem (s).  We will give you insight as to what products will be effective on the pest as well as tell you how you should adjust your management practices to get the best results.  Remember that Roses inc. Tulsa is not just here to sell you roses and products but rather our main focus is for raising roses to be a fun and rewarding experience.
