Roses mold on leaves


Question
I have several miniture rose bushes and some have developed a white mold on the leaves. Otherwise the bushes look to be very healthy.      I live in Warsaw, Ind. near Ft Wayne, In/

Answer
If you mix up 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 1 quart of water and spray daily until the mildew is gone that should solve your problem. Also mildew often starts because the rose roots are too dry. So give the rose a really good soaking to make sure the roots are wet.
