Brian,

Old World Roses (what we call Antique Roses), especially established ones,
should be able to shake off the effects.

If possible, I would enjoy a list of the roses present.

A Biological Farm Consultant, Thomas Harr, in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas
has tremendous success treating herbicde damage with a concoction of his
own.

40% Fish
40% Compost Tea
7% Humic Acid
7% Seaweed
7% Calcium/Boron(Chelated liquid 6% Ca, 0.5% Boron)

Adjust for mathmatical deviation.

Hope this helps.

  Can you offer some advice please. In our town here in Timaru NZ we
  have a rose garden of over 1200 old world roses. It appears the
  contractor has used roundup to spray the white pebble pathways and
  consequently there has been considerable spray drift which has
  seriously effected the roses. Can aerated compost tea help ? either
  as a foliar or soil drench ? should we add extra fungal compost to
  the soil around the roses ? or is it too late for those effected
  roses ? Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciatd.
  Regards
  Brian Gallagher
