About this deal

Well, I have to say Bamboo, as a complete amateur my roses are looking exceptionally well this year. Robert Dyas Holdings Limited T/A Robert Dyas is an appointed representative of Product Partnerships Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 626349). Main use For control of powdery mildew on many fruit, ornamentals and vegetables and storage rots of bulbs, corms and tubers. It is good practice to check in the shed on a regular basis to ensure such products are disposed of safely. Products with currently listed numbers are approved and considered safe if used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

I don't mind the occasional one, but really, they are such a bunch of disease prone things, they've either got black spot or mildew, and aphids love 'em too. About 600,000 bottles of Roseclear are sold each year; there more than a million in sheds around the country.

I will 'fess up - I used RCU once last year on a rose that had bad mildew after being buried under builders' rubble for months.

Brand name(s) FITO Garden Weedkiller and FITO Patio Weedkiller (This active ingredient has not been withdrawn but the product/s containing it are no longer being marketed). Roseclear was handed to drugs and pesticides giant Zeneca when the group splitfrom ICI, and the marketing and distribution then moved on to Miracle Garden Products 18 months ago.But the Government's Pesticides Safety Directorate began to become concerned in April last year, after the manufacturer submitted data on skin and eye irritation tests carried out on rabbits. And the active ingredient acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid - implicated in the decline of the bee population.

Products approved in the UK are assigned a registration number, printed on the pack– MAPP numbers for pesticides for use on plants and HSE numbers for household products. It didn't touch the mildew, couldn't bring myself to spray a second time and I ended up cutting the rose right back at completely the wrong time of year. This fresh information, which the manufacturer Zeneca was legally obliged to provide to the directorate, prompted further requests for information and a review of Roseclear's approval for use by amateur gardeners. Treetop, I'll confess there is a rose I particularly like, and which I bought twice in different houses for myself - its Korresia, a small, yellow flowered fragrant rose, very disease resistant, never had a moment's trouble with it apart from aphids.It also said the ban came about as a result of its policy of reviewing the safety of all approved pesticides. We act as a credit broker not a lender, offering credit products provided exclusively by Klarna Bank AB UK branch (BR020956), a branch of Klarna AB (556737-0431) which is authorised and regulated by the Swedish Financial Services Authority.

One of Britain's best-selling garden pesticides was banned yesterday, because tests on animals have shown it can seriously damage eyes. The concentrated formula works within just 24 hours to rapidly kill common garden pests including greenfly, blackfly and aphids. The undiluted product was also found to cause severe damage to eyes when no remedial action was taken after applying it.

The active ingredients in Roseclear, bupirimate, pirimicarb and triforine, are found in other Zeneca pesticides - Nimrod T and Rapid. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. Sale and use of Roseclear, the country's top-selling fungicide and pesticide for roses, is now illegal. It also helps to fight existing infections of powdery mildew, rose blackspot and rust, protecting any new growth from further infestation.
