Experiment with Cornmeal

I had great success using Cornmeal monthly since last March on my lawn to prevent Brownpatch Disease. For the first time in 10 years I had no Brownpatch and we had a very rainy spring.

I also decided to try it on the roses and did not spray them with fungicide. All of my roses got Blackspot except Rio Samba, which is pictured growing next to a corn plant that came up from the cracked corn I had thrown on the lawn.

Here is a better picture of Rio Samba that I took today after cutting down the corn plant, following our first frost last night. I wonder if it had anything to do with the rose growing next to the Corn Plant. We had a very rainy spring and all of the other roses got Blackspot.
