Most Common Problems With Roses

By Robert Harvard


The color has long been associated with love, and the different shades of red offer symbolism for different strengths of love.One of the most common problems with roses is that they break while they are growing, and this is largely in part due to the fact of how delicate most roses are. Bush roses more than any other types of roses have problems, especially with disease and mildew.

Especially for Valentine Day when red roses are the most popular and florists have a tough time keeping up with demand, driving up the prices.However, it should be known that correct cultural practices can really help to prevent many of the disease problems that can occur with roses, and so you want to make sure that you are as informed and knowledgeable in this area as you possibly can be.

A large bouquet of Valentine roses can also include deep pink, which would show gratitude or light pink to symbolize devotion, admiration or even sympathy. For one, in regards to traditional treatment, you are going to want to make sure that you spray any vulnerable roses with garden sulfur fungicide as directed on the label during their dominant period in early spring, and you also want to make sure that you check their growing tips and check all the young leaves for any signs of fungal disease, particularly when temperatures hit the mid 60s and when rainfall is especially sparse.

They should not be used in a Valentine roses bouquet or as a single color if the hope is for a more romantic relationship.

In any floral language, regardless of the color, giving someone a dead rose is simply saying the relationship is over and nothing one person can do or say is going to bring it back to life.
