I've been struggling with my inexpensive pressure garden sprayers, as they keep clogging up when I try to spray a sulfur and water mix on my roses. The sulfur doesn't dissolve well, even after shaking the container multiple times, leading to frustration. Can anyone suggest a reliable sprayer that can handle this task without clogging?

Have you tried using a sprayer designed for thicker liquids? They often come with better filters and nozzles that can handle things like elemental sulfur. You might want to look into models that specify they can deal with powders or thicker mixes to avoid those clogging issues.
I would suggest looking at the Bonide Copper Fungicide as an alternative to elemental sulfur, since it's liquid and less likely to clog your sprayer. It worked wonders for my grapes and might help with your rose issues too!
I appreciate the suggestion! I've used Bonide effectively for fungus before, but I need to treat spider mites on my roses. I've been using sulfur for that, and I'm just hoping to find a sprayer that won’t clog before summer heat makes it too late for treatments.
