FACTS ON ROSES & FLOWERS

• There are more than 100 species of roses
• Rust is one of the most common threats to roses. It’s a fungal disease that thrives in cool, moist weather. One way to prevent rust is to minimize waterlogged soil around the plant. Also, avoid adding rust-infected leaves to your compost, as the rust spores will come back to haunt your garden next year
• Thrips are tiny, slender, brown or black insects that attack opening flower buds. Like spider mites and other sucking insects, they do their damage by extracting the nutrients, leaving the buds brown or only partially opened
