The mildew fighters

Roses are more sensitive to powdery and downy mildew than grapevines so they are planted at the ends of the vineyard rows. Such a lovely way to warn the winemaker. For the last red image for the Rainbow challenge.

Really interesting. The roses look as though they really are guarding the grapevines.

This is on the PP this morning, thank you! This was taken at my friend Annie’s vineyard in Sonoma, California. She has rose bushes at the end of every second row. They have done their job more than once, alerting her to mildew before it struck the vines.
