I need to treat my roses (not when they are in bloom). However, I can not use neem oil because it fries the leaves when it is hot. I was told by the local rose society not to use ANY type of oil products here in SE Florida because they will all fry the leaves. So I am trying to determine which of your products for mites do not have an oil base..... thank you
Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is an oil-based product. An alternative water-based product for mites would be Talstar P, though no product should be used during the heat of the day to prevent burning. Apply early morning or late evening, avoiding blooms.
