Yeeeehaaaawwwwwwww! Curculio season is over ! I can stop disbudding the roses !
All of my plants have continued to really push new foliage and buds for the last four weeks. The extra foliage will make the plants far more heat tolerant which is important in my climate. Every year, I sigh a gasp of relief that I don't have to removed any more buds when the end of June arrives.
I may see a few bugs in the next couple of weeks, but I know the garden won't be totally infested and I'll get a clean first flush next year. For me, it's worth it.
Smiles,
Lyn
