michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated May 23, 2015 Yes, functionally it is about the same thing as canola or other salad oil (which can also be used in the garden). It kills by smothering if the insect or mite is coated. It also kills the external fuzz of powdery mildew.

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated May 23, 2015 If they do climb back on, I think it's uncommon for them to do so. However, it makes me very happy to squish the little #%%$#@!'s. They pop quite satisfactorily.

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated May 23, 2015 Yea, I would be very disappointed to receive roses in that condition but at least they will replace it. But since they are living things, it happens. Good luck and please update for us on the new shipment.

Please compare: Lady Emma Hamilton, Carding Mill, Summer Song

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated May 22, 2015 PP and Tiffany both get blackspot here in Asheville, and I'm pretty sure they would in Houston, which also has severe disease pressure. Earth Song is resistant here and in most gardens, but I can't promise that it will be for you....
