Now is the time to start a spray program for the roses and follow it up every two to three weeks and you will have excellent results. Also, for insects, now is the time' to get started. Most sprays can be combined where the insecticide and the fungicide are compatable. This means that they can be applied at the same time. All the chemical companies have already mixed them together such as Floritect, which comes in a liquid and is easy to use. Most insecticides are the systemic type, • which means that the chemical will penetrate the sap stream of the plant and travel right through ail the foliage and flowers for complete control.
