Miniature Rose problem … help.?
I have several containers of mini roses on my porch and I realized where I was yesterday that my cream-colored buds opening buds were huge holes in the sides and it looked like someone had cut the inside out …. all places of my buds are gone … any ideas on what might be doing this and how to solve … I looked and did not see any error or disease .. I have a lot of buttons, no leaf spot and are growing a lot … only looks like something you ate the center of my flowers.
That is the work of an insect. Could it be beetles, but I suspect that the trips, since they seem to prefer lighter color and rose buds, because the damage sounds like thrips damage. Here is a site that can help identify the problem. It is a site that uses frequently. http://www.yardener.com/ProblemsofBushRoses.html How to control thrips: http://www.yardener.com/Thrips.html
