Bayer systemic

17 years ago

I tried Bayer 3-way systemic on my roses this year and it was fine for the aphids and Japanese beetles. It hasn't done anything to prevent black spot and I've noticed that the second flush blooms are stunted and very ugly. I'm not sure if I can blame the Bayer for this, but I've never had this happen to my roses before. This stuff was supposed to have a nutritional value along with the disease prevention, but it doesn't seem to be working.

In previous years I have battled with the aphids and other chewing bugs so this year I wanted to just see if I could get ahead of them. Bugs haven't been a problem, but who cares when the roses have no flowers on them. Anybody else seen this?
