You will need to dilute no more than 50 ml of ammonia in a bucket of water and add a couple of spoons of special green soap. If you don’t have such a product, you can use regular liquid soap.

Then we start spraying the roses with the prepared composition. Try to carry out the treatment so that there are no untreated areas left on the roses.

After seven days, it is advisable to repeat the treatment to maintain the effect.
