How are your roses doing?
.
Powdery mildew typically appears during the summer, especially when the days are hot and dry and the nights are cool and wet.
.
The tell-tale signs include leaves that curl and twist and the development of a white, powdery down on the leaves. To avoid powdery mildew, water plants at ground level in the morning, since wet leaves, especially overnight, provide the perfect growing environment. Pruning a rose bush to allow air to circulate through the foliage also helps prevent this powdery growth.
