I have sprayed with Malathion and dusted with Rosex, yet my plants now have lost 50% of their leaves. I will continue to spray and dust, but I am now considering adding some Rose-tone fertilizer to help re-energize. Thoughts on any of this? I am afraid that all the plants will just defoliate and die. The new growth does appear healthy though, on last check.

Not a bad site but give this one a peek the site manager is more organic and a lot more informative
and will really teach you a lot for your current problem as well other problems I hear you on the rain there same here in Mass. I went out on day two of four of them rains in a late day down pour with a spray bottle of neem and the water ran right off the leaves.
Leaf watering is by far the worst thing for leaves ( as well a garden hose) either way Neem is more pest control but as it is an oil it can burn leaves I only use it when the temperature is at 60 to 65 and will stay there for at least a day
