Thanks for all the comments everyone! I am glad you all enjoyed my article!
Kate, I really hope your roses grow well for you this summer, atleast the BS doesn't do lasting damage....only makes them sort of un-sightly. I've never had the BS of the Fairy before.....always thought it was indestructable
Maybe the best thing to do is just clean up the dead leaves once they fall off and put them in the garbage.
Christine, have you picked up any roses? I really love my white one, you can smell it when you're working in the garden near by.....
