cleangeek(Zone 9)Updated It could be the Miracle Grow, one way to find out is to stop fertilizing it. I use 1/3-1/2 strength MG Bloom Booster every two weeks with good results. Is it getting at least six hours of sunlight per day?

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated The virus by itself cannot survive in the soil. The last lecture I went to they recommended waiting 7 days for the virus to die. But yes, the roots can carry it if it got down that far. I dug up a Reve d'Or last year and I'm waiti...

jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated The rose came from my friend's spray garden, so there probably were no thrip predators. Hopefully, I talked her into using something less toxic like Serenade when her roses get mildew instead of the stuff she used this season. I f...
