List Of Pests And Diseases Of Roses
Roses (''Rosa'' species) are susceptible to a number of pests, diseases and disorders. Many of the problems affecting roses are seasonal and climatic.Ross, D.,''Rose-growing for Pleasure'', Lothian Publishing, Melbourne, 1985, pp. 27 Some varieties of roses are naturally more resistant or immune than others to certain pests and diseases. Cultivation requirements of individual rose species and cultivars, when observed, often assist in the prevention of pests, diseases and disorders.Botanica's Organic Gardening, Random House Publishing, Sydney, 2002, Pests Insects that affect roses are often considered pests. * Aphids (greenfly) (order Hemiptera family Aphididae) '' Macrosiphum rosae'' – Likely to be found on new shoots and buds, aphids are soft bodied insects 1-2 mm long. Often green but occasionally light brown, and sometimes with wings, they may cover (in a colony) the complete growing tip of the plant. Aphids are most active in spring and summer and mult ...

Aphid Rose
Aphids are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea. Common names include greenfly and blackfly, although individuals within a species can vary widely in color. The group includes the fluffy white woolly aphids. A typical life cycle involves flightless females giving live birth to female nymphs—who may also be already pregnant, an adaptation scientists call telescoping generations—without the involvement of males. Maturing rapidly, females breed profusely so that the number of these insects multiplies quickly. Winged females may develop later in the season, allowing the insects to colonize new plants. In temperate regions, a phase of sexual reproduction occurs in the autumn, with the insects often overwintering as eggs. The life cycle of some species involves an alternation between two species of host plants, for example between an annual crop and a woody plant. Some species feed on only one type of plant, while others are generalists, colonizin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
