Hi Ethel from the sunny US Okanogan!
I'm just south of Midway, BC if you know where that is or 30 miles SW of
Grand Forks.
We started to have a light coating of mildew on the wild roses and snow
berries but the leaves are dropping for fall now. A solution of 1 tsp baking
soda to 1 quart of water and up to 1 tsp liquid dish soap sprayed regularly can
help control mildew and black spot.
I also read that regular washing of the leaves will help but to do it so they can
be dry before the cool night air.
I hope you find this helpful.
