rain-proof organics?

Hi,

I'm fairly new to gardening & I'm trying very hard not to use chemicals, but there is no end in sight right now for the rain where I live (the Atlanta area) and my roses are taking a beating.

The black spot is seriously out of control and today I discovered Japanese beatles helping themselves to the few buds that have made it.

My question... is there anything organic out there to control those 2 pests (but mainly the black spot) that doesn't have to be reapplied after each rainfall? If not, I think my roses are doomed.

I've tried using an organic fungicide made by the Safer company (can't remember exactly what it is right now) but I might as well have been spraying water for all the good it's done.

Thanks in advance! :-)
