Your beach roses have\u00a0Mossy Rose Gall<\/a>.\u00a0 (click on unlined blue text to learn more)\u00a0 This indicates the presence of a tiny wasp.\u00a0 In reaction to an adult wasp laying an egg the plant “grows” a gall around it to suppress\u00a0it.\u00a0 Generally, this doesn’t affect the plant but some consider it unsightly.\u00a0 This is a “housekeeping” thing, sprays would not really work.\u00a0 Rake up leaves around the plant in the fall,\u00a0 and remove the galls where possible in the spring.<\/p>\n

Some people\u00a0actually like the look of them,<\/a>\u00a0but then again some people like spiders too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
