Frequently asked gardening related questions
Using chemical pesticides on roses carries several risks. They can harm beneficial insects (like ladybirds and bees) that naturally control pests, leading to secondary pest outbreaks. They can pollute water systems and harm other wildlife. Some chemicals may even be harmful to the roses themselves or to human health if not applied correctly. Pests can also develop resistance over time. Organic and cultural control methods are generally preferred for long-term garden health.
