Spider Mites

11 years ago

I have 8 potted miniature rose plants that are kept in a bay window. They were blooming and doing well until they were attacked by spider mites. I tried spraying them with water to remove the mites to be conservative, and then got more aggressive with a pesticide that is supposed to target mites in roses. Unfortunately, I'm left with several rose plant stems 6-8" in height without leaves. One is brown and I suspect it's dead. Should I cut them way back almost to the surface of the soil, or hope that the 6-8" sprigs will recover and bloom? Anything else I can do to bring them back? The mites really did a number on my roses. Thanks.
