| I'm just guessing, but have you had a lot of rain? I'm thinking they might have balled up.In which case, I just remove them and hope for 'sunshine' - I'm sure if I'm wrong, some of the experts will correct me. |

| Probably a fungal disease called gray mold-- spreads in moist air and cool temperatures. I think all you can do is deadhead the plant and throw away the ruined buds/blooms. Maybe you could spray, but that seems a waste of time since when it warms up, the problem will probably disappear on its own. Kate |

| Thank u! At least now i have a name for this. It has happened in the past..but eventually stopped. I will just remove the flowers since i have recently treated the roses with bayer rose care. |

| The fungus is botrytis. This condition is also called "balling." In the garden, fungicides will have little or no effect. The problem will subside in warm or dry weather. |
