Feeling pretty low at the moment, entered my garden in the garden competition this year, but have had to cancel as I have sprayed my roses yesterday with round up.

I bet you are! So sorry to hear that. Did you have made up Roundup sitting in a sprayer (not a good idea) or did you get the names mixed up for what you were supposed to be using? That is going to be a very costly mistake, I'm afraid. You'll have to adopt the same philosophy as carpenters - measure twice, cut once - except it'll be read instructions twice - spray with the right mix. You'll not make that mistake for a second time.

Don't panic, neighbour did that to one of mine, it looked sick for a season but came right.

Oh no! You'll be gutted. My Dad did that once, they took quite a hit but eventually recovered. You're definitely not the first nor the last to do so.
The first time I used Weed n Feed on the lawn I thought "may as well give the pot plants some fertiliser too". of course it contains broadleaf-specific herbicide. Oops. They haven't been the same since.

I feel for you it happens to some of us! My first garden, on the bones of my bum financially, saved hard to buy some standard roses & I was so excited to get them & then once they were established I got the sprayers mixed up. Tragedy!
