I have just noticed a pretty fleck in a bloom of what I believe to be Lucky Piece. Could this be a sport and if so what should I do about it.

I have often wondered about the 'Petal Fleck' disease that New Zealand coped with years ago.
Your rose might be a sport, but I would consider the possibility that it isn't.
I think petal fleck is only transmitted through cuttings or budwood, but I could be wrong.

I am sorry Phil. Probably only a New Zealander who could remember petal fleck could say yea or nay. But I suspect petal fleck could be in Australia - many Australians have visited that exquisite country.

I can hear all the breeders from here to Timbuktoo kackling into their morning coffee right now.
