I have always used roaseclear 2 on my roses, this year I bought and sprayed my roses with roseclear 4 and instead of having bright and glossy leaves it turned all the leaves white and left them limp. Any suggestions apart from bining the roseclear?

Hi joh,

RoseClear 3 was available up until the end of May this year. One of the active ingredients - Bifenthrin - has been withdrawn so we can no longer product products containing Bifenthrin.

We quickly leapt into action and are working hard on producing a fantastic new RoseClear product for 2011, in the mean time we have the new RoseClear 4 Gun! This contains natural active ingredients, the fungicide element is Sulphur. When left standing for a while sulphur can settle at the bottom of the container, therefore we advise that you shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Some slight white residue may still be visible but this soon disappears.

I bought this this year and used it straight away, I did shake the bottle. The white resideue is now only disappering 6 weeks later, all the leaves were left white and limp. Its a terrible product.

Hi joh,

Thanks for your reply. we have conducted many test and trials and the only time we found that a stubborn white residue remained for a long period of time was when the product was not shaken thoroughly enough. Make sure you give the bottle a really good shake prior to use.

I have also used this product myself and agree that when I only gave the bottle a light shake prior to use, the product was very milky. I then shook the container well and applied, this then only left a very faint white residue on the tips of the leaves, which soon dissapeared.

And more importantly, my roses have no fungus or bugs!

Hope this information is of use to you.

All the best

I too bought some of this 'New ' Natural Rose Clear. I found it to be a total waste of money. After reading the previous complaints I made sure that I gave the stuff a really good shake as advised. This made no difference at all. My beautiful rose bushes and climers now look as though they have been violated and sprayed with white emulsion paint that I cannot even wash off and I still have greenfly. I took this rubbish back to the store and asked for a refund, but this was refused. I think the company should recall this product and refund the unfortunate purchers money
