Wanted Topics Guide
Wanted topics are pages the r/Roses wiki should build next. Use them for missing guides, weak pages, needed source reviews, and photo examples the community can help collect.
Good wanted topics include
- A clear page title.
- Why the page matters for r/Roses.
- The scope: beginner guide, advanced guide, cultivar page, disease example, pest example, regional note, or photo gallery.
- Minimum source quality: extension, diagnostic lab, government, university, trial programme, official patent record, or clearly labelled community observation.
- Needed media: whole plant, close-up, disease progression, pruning before/after, root/crown, or cultivar comparison.
Priority topics
- RRD look-alikes with verified examples.
- Black spot vs cercospora vs downy mildew photo comparisons.
- Sawfly larvae, aphids, spider mites, thrips, and Japanese beetle pages.
- Regional heat and winter protection notes.
- Container rose troubleshooting.
- Cultivar pages backed by trial data and community photos.
Source review checklist
- Prefer current extension or university sources.
- Check the publication date or update date when available.
- For pesticide advice, do not copy outdated rates; direct users to current labels and local extension.
- Separate sourced facts from local community experience.
