I don't know what zone you are in or even where you are, but if you are heading into a cold winter then don't worry about it now. However, if you are in a warm climate then you can get a fungicide for roses. It has also been shown that a dilution of 1part milk to 9 parts water sprayed on the plant weekly will kill powdery mildew. Good Luck<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s called powdery mildew.

You can get an anti-fungal spray at your local home and garden store to treat it. It's been a while since I have roses and I forget the name of the product but someone there should be able to advise you on the best product<br><b>References : </b><br> It has a fungus on it, and they are suceptible to mold and fungus.
