Hi Hetty This is only what I would try first ,you know me I just love roses ,before I resorted to removing any parts of the RoseYou are doing the right thing don,t worry it will be OK.

Rose powdery mildew is a fungus that produces airborne spores from infected stems or buds on roses. After overwintering on your plants, the disease is most likely to flare up if the roots are in dry soil and the leaves are in humid air - conditions that are often found when plants are grown near or against a wall.

ALERNATIVE ORGANIC SPRAYING

[/align]
There are a number of kitchen ingredients that work well on powdery mildew.
1. At the first sign of mildew you can mix 1 part of milk with 2 parts of water and apply this solution to the plant. This mix stops mildew clinging to the plant leaves and can therefore also be used successfully as a preventative measure.

2.Apple cider vinegar, mixed with water, forms an effective barrier to powdery mildew, which also works well at removing black spots on roses. Add 3 tablespoons of the vinegar to 1 gallon of water and spray liberally over the affected area.



3.Chives can also be used to help minimise the spread of powdery mildew. Chop a good-sized bunch of the herb and place in a heatproof glass container. Top with boiling water and allow to cool before straining. The solution can then be used to coat the affected foliage.

Hi Melinda No not at all my friend Not sure about the Acetic acid % content in Rasberry Vinegar but i,ve heard its good on Goats Cheese:hehe: Try it and see ,you might have just found a new Formula

 

Hi Hetty I do apologise I should have explained myself better,I would,just continue to use the Roseclear ,These are just methods that i use instead of Spraying with chemicals,so wait and see for the Roseclear results before you proceed with the Organic treatmeant:thmb:

 

Hi Hetty Not used it myself but have several Rose friends who continue spraying until the leaves start falling
