place: SW VA variety: Peace, Mr. Lincoln, Oklahoma, Blue Girl I have 'Hens and chicks' carpeting the floor of my rosebed and as of late the the roses have seemed to suffer for this. The lower branches have lost their leaves and most of the remaing foliage is riddled with small holes. Have I created conditions that are either injurious to my roses health or an environment that fosters the opprtunity of a detrimental insect community? What changes or treatments are suggested? Thanks for your advice.
