Abstract
The author was requested by a representative of the Ortho Chemical Company to test various fungicides and insecticides on hybrid tea roses.
Roses are one of the most time consuming and most difficult ornamentals to manage due to several diseases and insects that attack them. Two of the first and foremost skills that the author had to acquire were the proper planting and the subsequent care of roses.
The purpose of the research project was to compare the effectiveness of experimental products with presently available fungicides and insecticides. Before new chemicals can be marketed much data must be collected to show the safety and value of those products. This research project served as a source of data for evaluating six experimental products as well as five products already marketed by the Ortho Chemical Company.
