| I know it's a often discussed topic in this forum, but I need help for black spot now, I'm losing the rosebush- it's rental property, can't remove it. I pruned away affected foilage and branches first. Mistake? Within a week the whole thing is covered again. It's very hot and humid here, and the rose is right against front of house where there aren't gutters. I don't want to use a chemical spray, so what do i do? Remove affected foilage? Does this spread it? What do i put on it, how often, when? Any suggestions , please. THANKS SO MUCH! |

| I have had good success spraying infected roses with either a mix of 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda in 1 quart of water or a 50/50 mix of fat free milk and water every 5 to 7 days and also getting the soil the rose is growing in worked into a good, healthy condition that will grow strong and healthy plants that will be better able to withstand plant diseases. |

| thanks kimmsr, i'll try that. Is it possible for this to spread to other plants and flowers nearby, or just specific to roses? Thanks. |

I had it last year and I removed it but also got a book on roses & pruned it. If you prune it well you should create better air circulation & I think that's supposed to help.
Mine looks great this year so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed. |

Black Spot of roses is specific to roses. Keep in mind that treating for a disease is only one part of the total control program. The soil any plant is growing is needs to be a good, healthy soil that will allow that plant to grow strong and healthy and better able to withstand plant diseases.
When plants have diseases that is an indication of a soil problem that needs to be looked into. |
