Shock I bought a beautiful ruby-coloured standard rose & sprayed it with what I thought was greenfly spray - but no, it was weedkiller. I am GUTTED at my mistake.. sob... I'm crossing everything that it recovers. It's looking very curled-up & 'crispy' this morning. Please tell me I'm not the only one & fess up to your home & garden cock-ups..

I would "wash" it with a watering can of water very thoroughly and cut off the bits that are obviously dying back. It will either die completely or rally and survive. Did you just not look at what you were using or had you diluted weedkiller and not labelled the container?

Bug killer & weedkiller are both in red trigger-sprayers - I picked up the wrong one.Hmm
