Growing Roses in Sri Lanka's Wet Zone

Cultivating roses in the Low and Mid-Country Wet Zones presents challenges due to rainfall and high atmospheric humidity.

Utilizing polyhouse rain shelters helps shield delicate blooms from heavy rain while maintaining optimal lighting. A potting mix of topsoil, compost, coir dust, and sand ensures proper aeration and drainage.

Fungal diseases like Downy Mildew and Black Spot can be managed through base watering, proper spacing for ventilation, and timely pruning during dry weather windows.
