On The Garden Lady the postcard is about the old myth that spots on leaves are caused by the sun burning through drops of water. It’s not true. By all means avoid splashing foliage frequently as this promotes fungal leaf spot. Try to water in the morning whenever possible.

Raindrops on roses can remain one of your favorite things… Don’t worry if the sun comes out immediately after a rain. The sun doesn’t burn holes in flowers and foliage if the rays hit the raindrops.
