I was just wondering if I'm using the right method when spraying for Powdrey Mildew. I spray all the leaves and under the leaves as well as the stems until they are ringing wet.... I do use Triforine...just wondering if I'm puting to much on them?

Have you tried bicarb solution Paul?
3 level teaspoon Bicarb Soda to 1 litre of water and a few drops of Fish Emulsion.

get the hose out early in the morning and wash the rose bushes down...do a couple a week. This is so that the spores don't have a chance to do there thing.....

Warren might put in 'scientific' terms, but for me, leaves go to sleep over night and reopen as the day warms up, the leaves breath, so washing of a morning(EARLY) would remove the spores.

Thanks peoples....Just one thing though...can you put too much Triforine on the leaves....eg: I soak the leaves on top and underneath...is that an over kill...or should I just spray the tops of the leaves?

no ...it is not an overkill..it is the correct way of doing it....overkill would be spraying your bushes 3-4 times a week....
