Question:"I recently sprayed one of my lawns with a selective weedkiller and shortly after this some roses near the lawn produced distorted growth and some leaves were scorched. A neighbour thinks the roses have been affected by the weedkiller. Is this likely to be the cause, and if so, how can I take precautions in future, as I have some valuable shrubs in the garden?"
Answer/Response:"Judging by what you describe it seems extremely likely that some of the selective weedkiller spray drifted on to your roses. Unless the damage is very severe the roses should recover and this would be aided by a dressing of suitable fertilizer. In a garden the safest way to apply selective weedkiller is from a watering can fitted with a dribble bar or fine rose as these deliver relatively coarse droplets which do now blow about so readily. If the lawn is large, so that spraying is most convenient, then at least the perimeter area close to flower beds and shrubs should be treated with a watering can. Always choose a still, settled day on which to make the application, but preferably avoiding very hot days (which may result in vapour drift after application). Valuable small shrubs and trees may be protected with polythene sheeting or bags and plants near the lawn edge can be shielded by a sheet of hardboard or similar. Leaves should not be allowed to touch the contaminated surface of the shield or the treated lawn. Other alternatives are to spot treat individual weed patches with a special applicator or to use a combined fertilizer and weedkiller, which is applied dry although even this has to to confined to the lawn!"
