My house came with 5 rose bushes in extremely bad condition. Mildew and white aphids infested. So the first order of business was saving them. I initially did a extreme trimming of the bushes and have started spraying neem oil on them. Initially I got the neem oil spray from home Depot at 10$ per bottle But with the 7 day of spraying needed, it was going to be little tight on purse, so I went and found concentrated neem oil in a local Indian store for 3$. Add quarter of it and fill the bottle with water and spray. Very effective. Day 3 the aphids are gone, and 2 bushes have recovered from mildew..3 more to go. I am hoping to get beautiful roses from them this spring.
