About the only odd thing that's going on with my roses is, they don't have any chili thrips! I had never heard of them until about 2-3 weeks ago when there was a thread over on OGR about them in Florida, but didn't know they were in this area until I went to the store where I get supplies, and they mentioned that they had been really bad here. I'm surprised, there's no sign of them in my yard and I never spray with anything.

It's not unusual for us to get them spring and fall here. I think they like the cooler, damper weather.
