Q. I am attaching 2 pictures of my rose. One wilts over even though it is getting watered regularly. It does get the morning sun In Pahrump. My other roses
do not do that. Any information you can give me will be appreciated.

A. I think this is thrips damage to the flowers and probably Western Flower Thrips. Try
an insecticide containing Spinosad for control. I think your roses have the very small
insect called Western flower thrips. Very common now to see thrips on
roses. Spray and contain them before they spread to other flowers.
