White fungus on rose bush
I saw the white 'fungus'? on the soil of my rose. Would tge wet weather with too much rain caused it? What should I do? Should I scrap off those white things? See photo.

Re: white things on soil of my rose bush
Hello @MYC
Thank you for sharing your question about your rose bush. You are correct, the fungus on your rose bush is caused by excess wet weather conditions. If you look closely at your rose you'll see that the leaves are starting to get rust spots in the middle of the leaves. This is an indication that the rose has been infected with a rust fungal infection.
I suggest using Yates 200ml Liquid Copper Fungicide, it is a broad-spectrum fungicide, that is suitable for use on fruit, vegetables and ornamentals, for controlling leaf curl, leaf spots, blights, downy mildew and many more fungal diseases. Please make sure to follow the application instructions on the back of the container.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: White fungus on rose bush
Many thanks Eric. I am desperately waiting for the wet, cold and windy to stop before I can fix any problem.
At the meantime, I have prepared that Yates Liquid Copper Fungicide, just hope the dry weather comes soon.
Will let you know how I progress and save my roses. Thanks.
