Environment
Optimal conditions for rose powdery mildew are 16-27 degrees Celsius, with the optimal temperature for fungal growth at 23 degrees Celsius in a shaded area. They also do not need water to germinate and infect the rose. In fact, if there is too much water present on plant surfaces for a prolonged period of time the fungal growth is inhibited and the spores can actually die. Rose powdery mildew can also grow in any conditions where roses can grow and has been found everywhere from China to the United States.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“A positive learning climate in a school for young children is a composite of many things. It is an attitude that respects children. It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from the responsible adults around them. It is an environment where children can experiment and try out new ideas without fear of failure. It is an atmosphere that builds children’s self-confidence so they dare to take risks. It is an environment that nurtures a love of learning.”
—Carol B. Hillman (20th century)
