    Coffee grounds can be sprinkled directly onto the ground because the grounds work themselves into the soil so quickly and plants will absorb their available nutrients very readily.

    Eggshells, on the other hand - I would recommend you work them into the soil as they will biodegrade much faster that way.

    They are katydid eggs. Katydids lay their eggs in the stems of plants, the bark of trees and in the soil!

    Here are some links with more photos of kaydid eggs on plants.

    How long ago did you treat your roses for black spot? What course of treatment did you use and for what duration? When treating black spot, you should not stop the prescribed fungicide treatment in its tracks because then it won't be as effective. A rose afflicted with black spot will have leaves that turn yellow with sometimes brownish edges and fall off. What you are seeing is a normal happenstance.

    According to all the research reports on Rose rosette virus and disease it appears to be isolated to rosebushes, so you should be able to plant other shrubs and flowering plants in the area without having problems with the virus and disease. Hopefully you have another area on your property where you can still plant and enjoy some rosebushes though.

    It could be that the heat of the day and not enough water is the problem. It could be reflected sunlight that is being focused onto the roses in that one area. It could also be that someone has been spraying with an herbicide nearby and some of the spray drifted over onto the rosebushes foliage. Investigate things more closely to see if you can figure out what might be the culprit.

    I would add some amended garden soils all around the rosebush about 3 inches deep. It sounds like some erosion may have taken place and more soils need to be added. Mulch all around the rosebush after adding the soil to help hold it in place as well as hold in valuable soils moisture.

    It is scary when this happens I know. Here is what I have done. I go ahead and plant them outside just like I normally would, however I put a Wall O Water protector around them being sure to pinch the tops shut so they look like a tee pee. The Wall O Water protectors are like mini greenhouses for the rosebushes. Here is a link to what I am talking about for you: http://www.planetnatural.com/product/wall-o-water-3-pack/
