I wish you had put a photo of the moss on the forum. I can't imagine having to use a moss killer on it.

This forum does not have a plugin for uploading photographs.
Over these past months,I have removed stuff and I have sprayed them with a rose and garden
disease & etc. I still have not sprayed that Moss Killer on them. The moss appears to be growing back.
This morning I took pictures of them.
Last weekend I planted two, new (white-flowered) Roses Of Sharon.
The first five (purple-flowered)Roses Of Sharon are about 40 years old.
We have 7 Roses Of Sharon trees. |

I just looked up the various mosses of New England and they are beautiful. Are you able to remove them by hand in case the shrubs are damaged?

I think the moss and etc. is returning. Should I use a moss spray or should use something else? |

The flat part is common here and just a lichen. The green mossy stuff does get a bit thick and is peculiar to your area. Check if the moss killer affects the bark of the tree. It must have instructions on it. Otherwise, if that tree is too large, it would be hard to remove by hand and scrubbing. Is it deep rooted moss? What do your neighbours who have this problem do to eradicate it?

Good to see you back Privat. How are the plants looking? I have pink, red, yellow and orange Asiatic lilies. I have a few yellow roses and my(new) white roses of Sharon.I hope the original five will bloom in 2014.Earlier in the season I had red and yellow tulips and there were some small flowers on wine and rose bush. The lawn has different types of flowering and non-flowering bushes/plants. Thanks for asking. |

Here is what I read off of the front label:
Lilly Miller, Hose'n GO!, Moss Out!,KIlls Lawn Moss Quickly! Works In Hours.
For Lawns. Liquid iron gives superior results.
I noticed the moss in 2012 and in 2013.
I do not have answers for your other questions.

I do not think that moss killer is suitable for your tree trunks Privat. Someone else might offer some advice, but I don't think it would be different.

From your pictures it looks to me like a Lichen which is like a fungus/algae combination, they are said to be very sensitive to pollution so you can be certain that you have good air quality there and this line is taken from Wikipedias description of Lichen lichens are not parasites; they do not consume any part of the plant nor poison itSo I wouldn't think that this growth on the trees will be harming it in any way |

Is that stuff on the roses of Sharon lichen, moss or something else? What should I do? Should I use that moss out spray? Should I take better pics? |

lichen link
I did a bot of research. Steve, I think you are correct. It does appear to be lichen.
Lichen is present on other things.According to what I understood, it is not going to be harmful.
In my rose of Sharon research gray mold was mentioned.

Come back Privat. Your problem was very interesting and you can tell us more about your garden in Massachusetts.
