Powdery mildew
Powdery mildew produces white to gray fungal growth on leaves, shoots, sepals, buds, and sometimes petals. Young leaves can curl, redden, or distort as the infection develops. It does not need standing water on the leaf surface, so roses can develop it during warm weather when nights are humid and airflow is poor.
Lost Coast Plant Therapy has a dedicated powdery mildew page and current instructions for active powdery mildew. Thorough coverage matters because the product works on contact with the affected plant surface.
