Chemical Burn

17 years ago

About a week and a half ago I noticed that I was getting aphids on my new roses. I had leftover in a one gallon spray bottle about a 10th of a gallon of Ortho Garden Disease Control. The Garden Disease Control (active ingredient is 26.9% Chlorothalonil) was mixed at 1/4th tsp to the gallon of water. To the left over mix I added volk oil spray (active ingredient is 97% petroleum oil), mixing it at 5tbs to the gallon of water. I either mixed it wrong or you cannot mix these two chemicals because it burned my roses good. I am sure the problem was caused by spraying them with this mix as the new growth does not show the same signs as the old growth. Does anyone know if these two chemicals should not be mixed together? Below are some pics.
