Abstract

Roses are one of the most popular flowering plants in the world and tend to have a few common disease problems such as black spot, Botrytis blight, downy mildew, powdery mildew, and rust. There are a dozen different fungal diseases, four bacterial problems, three nematodes, and many viral diseases that occur on roses. Several are root or root crown-related diseases, but most are concerns for canes, leaves, and especially flowers. Cultural management of these diseases is effective especially when combined with genetic resistance. Chemical management of important problems is useful for favored, susceptible rose cultivars.
