This is my first go at a post of my own, so bear with me. I have a miniature rose that a friend gave me for Christmas five years ago and some how it has survived my care all this time, which, for me, is nothing short of a miracle! This year, however, I have several blooms with strange centres. They look as though they have something growing out of them. I’ve looked on Google and asked friends with roses in the garden but can’t find any answers. Pinning all my hopes on you, my fellow GransNetters. Pictures of three of the worst affected attached, one of which also shows some tiny black creatures that have taken up residence on them this year. Are the bugs and the strange middles connected?
