Q.knockout roses
our rose’s were beautiful thick red and on 6/2/17 we were out in the yard and noticed that they looked like they were dying. the blooms were falling off they turned a pale red, needles to say we were quite upset. we sprayed them with a seven mixture as we always do about 6 days ago. i noticed that there were tiny looked like flies with a green body on them , also our yard was sprayed on may 29 or so do u think they got the spray on them we have it done every year and haven’t noticed anything. please help us we sure dont want to loose them. thank you
It sounds like they got some spray drift on them. Keep them well watered and give them some water that has a product called Super Thrive mixed into the water the next 5 to 6 times they need watering. The super thrive is not a fertilizer but rather a vitamin like tonic for them, goes a long way in helping them deal with all kinds of stress and shock. Let the company know they need to be careful of spray drift too!!
