Healthy roses are a delight to have in your garden. Not only do they perform better, but they are also much easier to care for. Roses with a high health rating continue to shine without the need for regular spraying. To add the best performing roses to your garden, select those with a high Treloar’s Health Rating.
The Assessment
The heath rating is the result of a thorough assessment made by our experts on our farm in Portland, Victoria. The assessment was undertaken at the end of February 2021 after a humid and wet summer. This time period of assessment is when fungal diseases are more prevalent. The main diseases of concern during assessment was black spot and powdery mildew. The assessment does not indicate flower quality or fragrance.
