How do I prevent the Japanese beetles from investing my linden tree

uncovered my oriental poppy and the leaves are light yellow to white in color. Will the leaves turn green if I leave it or should I cut them off? What is your advice? Thank you

Hi, I live in Oxford MI in Oakland county and would like advice on which grub control product works best. Thanks for your guidance. Jim

I had to cut my pagoda dogwood down. Pretty sure it was golden canker. How do I dispose of it?

I have a homeowner in my county who has a scale infestation. I have attached pictures of them on his burning bushes. Can you advise on control measures? He has a decent number of plants and they're all badly infested with it. Also, can you confirm whether this is indeed scale and maybe identify the species/type of scale. Thanks

We have an old rose which has bloomed spectacularly for many years (see first picture). Its main stems are inches in diameter and weave around a picket fence, sending branches up vertically that leaf and flower profusely from spring to late autumn. This year, for no discernable reason, it started dying back at the time when it normally would be starting to leaf out. Some branches did leaf out but then died; those which continue to leaf out are not vigorous. At this point, about 50% of the branches seem to have died, and this trend is continuing. I am quite distraught as it would be tragic to lose this rose and I have no idea what to do. Any insights and suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi there. I want to create a golden euonymus hedge along a sidewalk next to my house. I’ve read online different spacing distances from 2-5ft as well as different mature widths. Just curious if you guys have any recommendations for the spacing of these plants for a hedge? Thank you very much.
