This is the cause of damaging mildew. Gardeners are very Ii mi ted in the use of insec ticides in public areas. The Environmental Protection Agency has set several regulations. Pesticides on the shelf are not considered dangerous for garden use and, as Bullock states,

planting fruit trees is to plant them in a separate area from the lawn. This is because fruit trees do not need to be watered as frequently as the lawn. Although it may take up to two years for a successful fruit yield, the wait will be well worth it. The best time to plant roses is when they are dormant or bare root.
