Huh huh! Just my wild guess. I read somewhere that if the problem keeps recurring, you might have to plant dark coloured roses instead.I don't think you'll need to resort to that though.Rosy Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339872826202772834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-59454202023259786052007-10-30T15:56:00.000-07:002007-10-30T15:56:00.000-07:00Thank you Rosy.

Yes, I've been praying with you for the rain to come to your part of Australia as well. We've had lots of rain in Perth, but the farmers up north where the Wheat Belt is often don't get it when we've had too much. It's like you said, "too much weather"!Rosy Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339872826202772834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-84901262309972740072007-10-28T17:35:00.000-07:002007-10-28T17:35:00.000-07:00Those tiny bugs might be what they call thrips.

If they are thrips, you'll need to remove all affected blooms, spray the plant with insecticidal soap (you can google for homemade recipes)or the natural insecticide Pyrethrum. Spray the plant with garlic oil to repel future infestations.Rosy Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339872826202772834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-30659068513343526122007-10-27T16:39:00.000-07:002007-10-27T16:39:00.000-07:00So sorry to hear about the camera.

I can't believe how gorgeous each and every one of them is.<BR/>You have a wonderful gift.<BR/><BR/>We laid our brick patio and I can sympathize with the hard work thats waiting for you. But, your right, it looks great when its done and is completely worth it.<BR/><BR/>Kimberly :)Niesz Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952472758360034508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-19261830354255117302007-10-27T02:53:00.000-07:002007-10-27T02:53:00.000-07:00Oh Rosy, I am so sorry about your camera. I do em...Oh Rosy, I am so sorry about your camera. I do empathise.<BR/><BR/>Can I ask your advice about a rosy matter. Many of my rose flowers seem severely stunted in size this year (drought, I know), but they are also covered in tiny, fast-moving bugs; not your usual squishy greenish aphids.<BR/><BR/>These bugs are damaging the blooms and I am not sure what to do about them. Do you have any suggestions? I'd prefer to take the organic path, if possible, whilst praying desperately for some decent rain. I'm sure so many of my plants are more vulnerable to bugs at the moment because of the drought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-88443059324978302142007-10-22T19:12:00.000-07:002007-10-22T19:12:00.000-07:00You must be feeling very stranded without your cam...You must be feeling very stranded without your camera! Ahhhh! The rose photos are absolutely divine. The bushes are SO lush. I think that you must be a gardener extraordinaire!<BR/>There are a lot of little paved areas throughout my garden and most of them I have done myself so I know where your coming from concerning your aches and pains.Isn't it rewarding though?!With each area of paving I got better at it. Now there is like a history of my skills and that's sort of fun to see. I even did paving when I was very pregnant! This entailed piling the bricks around me, sitting on my bottom and reaching as far as I could then moving on to the next bit.What a sight!<BR/>Enjoy your new paving, can't wait to see some photos,<BR/>Angela.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915327620615333557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-36591957327443637942007-10-22T03:17:00.000-07:002007-10-22T03:17:00.000-07:00Oh no, sorry to hear that, but happy for you that ...Oh no, sorry to hear that, but happy for you that you are going to have a better one. That IS the bloggie's nightmare. The other nightmare will be something wrong with your blog systym, you can't either answer or post new article.
