Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:

Powdery mildew is undoubtedly the most widespread disease of roses. The causal fungus, Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosae, appears as a white or gray powdery or mealy coating on the leaves, tender stems, and flower buds. It distorts and discolors those areas, causes defoliation, and reduces plant vigor.
