As all Sydney siders know Summer for 2011/12 hasn't really been a summer at all. Instead of the hot and sunny days that we are used to getting, we have been experiencing grey skies and humidity.
As I have mentioned in a previous post, this humidity has really bothered my roses with black spot galore! Even my hydrangeas and azaleas seem to have suffered a little with mildew and petal blight problems.
Not being able to control the black spot I gave majority of my roses a big trim. Now, I am happy to say that they are on their way back! By Autumn, I think (and hope) that all my roses will be back to their beautiful and luscious selves!
