We have been growing Rosa 'Tiffany' in a pot for several years.
It was a hard wood cutting of the rose in the kitchen garden, and it is one of the roses
which we grow for the first time more than ten years ago.
Euphorbia, which was planted with Tiffany, withered and died a couple of weeks ago,
and we thought that it was because the weather had been too hot and dry.
Today Marple pulled out the Euphorbia, and found worms in the soil.
They were larvae of so- called 'root cutter '; a kind of scarab.
We checked roots of Tiffany and it lost all roots.
Poor thing!
何年もの間、鉢でバラのティファニーを育ててきました
ポタジェにある木の挿し木で、10年以上前に初めて植えたバラの一つです
ティファニーと一緒に鉢に植えていたユーフォルビアが2週間ほど前に
萎れてついに枯れてしまったのですが、乾燥した暑い気候のせいだと思っていました
今日、家内がユーフォルビアを抜いたら、土に虫がいるのを見つけました
いわゆるネキリムシ、コガネムシの幼虫でした
ティファニーの根を調べたら、すっかりなくなっていました
可愛そうなこと・・
