There are less than 10 days until the New Year, winter is about to end, and everyone is more concerned about the cleaning of the roses these days.
Many flower friends don't understand why they need to clean roses in winter. Cleaning the garden can effectively kill some bacteria and eggs, significantly reducing the incidence of rose diseases and pests in spring, making it very necessary to clean roses in winter.
When cleaning the garden, it is recommended to use lime sulfur mixture, which is a low-toxic and highly effective alkaline pesticide. It has good effects on most diseases, pests, and eggs, and is relatively affordable, making it an ideal pesticide for garden cleaning. However, the concentration of lime sulfur mixture is something that confuses many people.
How exactly should lime sulfur mixture be used?
The concentration of lime sulfur mixture varies greatly depending on the ambient temperature. Generally, it is recommended to use it after the plants have shed their leaves, and not to use it after the leaves have grown. However, in practice, it can still be used even after the roses have germinated or even when they have flower buds, but the concentration will vary significantly.

When the temperature is low, the efficacy of lime sulfur mixture is released slowly, with a long duration, so a higher concentration is usually used. In warmer seasons, the efficacy is released rapidly, and a thinner concentration is needed, or it can easily cause damage to the plants.
So, how much concentration should be used for garden cleaning in winter?
Some people use a concentration of 30 times, some use 50 times, some use 200 times, some use 500 times, and others use 1000 times. How should it be mixed?
In fact, the concentration of lime sulfur mixture fluctuates greatly during winter garden cleaning, which is mainly related to the manufacturer of the lime sulfur mixture, and also to the attention to detail of our flower friends.
Generally speaking, different manufacturers' lime sulfur mixtures have different active ingredient contents. Careful flower friends will notice that even when the labeled active ingredient content is the same, the concentration in the instructions for use is different, and the difference is significant.
