Troubleshooting
Teasing Georgia Rose problems — and how to fix them
Teasing Georgia Rose (Rosa 'Teasing Georgia') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Blackspot
Yellow-rimmed black spots and leaf loss in wet weather. Improve airflow, water at the base, remove infected leaves and spray preventatively under high pressure.
Bloom balling in wet weather
Full, petal-packed flowers can fail to open and rot in prolonged rain. Site in an open, airy spot and remove damaged buds promptly.
Fading colour in strong sun
Rich yellow softens to pale cream in intense heat. This is normal; some afternoon shade in hot climates helps preserve depth of colour.
Aphids
Cluster on bud tips and distort growth. Blast off with water, encourage natural predators, or apply insecticidal soap to heavy infestations.
