Troubleshooting
What if I see bugs or leaf damage?
Occasionally bugs may decide to visit your roses. They find their way
into homes by hitching a ride on clothing or cut flowers. Spider mites
and aphids in particular, are fond of rose plants. We recommend you
check your plants every week for these bugs.
Check for Bugs
•
This image shows leaves with
spider mite damage.
•
Look under the leaves for spider
mites, which look like tiny gray dots.
•
A heavily infested plant will have
noticeable webs on the underside
of the leaves.
•
Aphids also like the underside of leaves, particularly near to where
the leaf meets the stem. If you notice a sticky substance on the Grow
Surface, there are probably aphids in your Garden.
•
Another sign of bugs is black
discoloration on leaves – usually on
the leaf's underside. Along with the
black discoloration, you will see
white, pinprick-size spots on the
top surface of leaves.
