Roses are commonly susceptible to pests such as black spot, lily disease, and aphids.
- Black Spot: Spots appear on the leaves, which can lead to leaf drop in severe cases. Since this disease is prone to occurring in sunny weather, fungicides should be applied at the early stages of infestation.
- Lily Disease: This disease causes white powder to appear on the leaves and stems. It can be prevented in well-ventilated environments with even sunlight. Apply antimicrobial agents if necessary.
- Aphids: They suck sap, hindering plant growth. If detected early, control the problem by spraying soapy water or using an appropriate insecticide.
