Grow Your Roses Well 
After you have purchased good stock 
roses it is a shame if you do not get 
good blooms. This is one plant the in- 
sects like for breakfast, lunch and din- 
ner and many for a midnight supper. 
By constant care and attention anyone 
can grow good roses. Among the vari- 
ous enemies the rose has, the following 
are quite noticeable in this locality: 
Black Spot—causes the leaves to turn 
yellow and some to drop. Mildew——a 
white coating on climbers in spring and 
on the H.T. in the fall. Acme Copper 
Queen or Dusting Sulphur should con- 
trol above. Rust—orange-colored pus- 
tules on leaves and stalk. Dust with 
sulphur. False slugs—similar to cherry 
slugs that skeletonize the leaves. These 
work in early spring and late fall. Spray 
with a solution of Rotenone or lead 
arsenic. Leafhoppers—tiny little insects 
that. suck the .juice from the. leaves, 
leaving them a whitish color. Use a 
combination spray like Acme rose spray. 
Aphids—a very small louse appearing 
on the buds. Use Red Arrow or Ever- 
green. Thrips—very tiny tan insects 
that remove the color from the buds 
and flowers. New Evergreen or Red 
Arrow prove helpful. Midge—causes 
tips to wither, droop and sometimes 
to turn black. Sometimes the blossoms 
have crooked necks. Mulch the soil with 
tobacco dust and spray every five days 
with nicotine soap spray for four treat- 
ments. Cankers and scale—found on 
the canes in the form of white spots 
and oval to round white shells on old 
canes. Spray in early spring with lime- 
sulphur spray right after pruning. 
By dusting your roses with sulphur 
every week from January 1 till April 1 
you will likely prevent mildew. A good 
mulch of tobacco dust around all your 
roses will go a long way to help grow 
healthy plants.
