| Thanks for the link :) I don't know what it is about the garden I'm in now (been in the house 2 years, only started to seriously garden in it this spring)but it has been a blessing of health in comparison to where I used to live, only a few miles away. I have not had to spray for pests or disease yet. Call me shocked. One bush, has a bit of blackspot, but so little that I'm keeping my eye on it instead of rushing to do something about it since it isn't near any other roses. All the rest, not a thing. Not an aphid, not a thrip, only saw one Japanese Beetle so far - flicked it off and that was that. And it isn't like I've been obsessively fertilizing either. Good air circulation? Better sun? Did I pick better varieties for where I am now? I have no idea. I am so far from being an expert but I'm quite pleased with the way it's turned out this year. BTW - I'm in sort of North Jersey if that matters, not extremely, just barely out of Central is more like it. Union county. |

| You are welcomed! :) I use Sevin to kill our Japanese Beetles and it works perfectly. |
