Roses
Hi,
right I`m really new to this but keen to learn. Just planted my first garden even though I am now in my 60`s, late starter !!!
My roses and sweet pea have mildew, am I watering too much ? also should you cut roses now and again to keep shape ?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Hi Nick. Strange as it may seem mildew often occurs when some plants are dry. What kind of watering have you been carrying out? Keep dead heading your roses by cutting above a leaf node and definitely keep picking your sweet peas or they will run to seed and give up flowering. Does your soil/compost feel too wet?
