fungus on rose bush leaves

1 Answer

Answer :

It's called black spot and appears on more roses than you can count.  It needs several things.  Cut back as much of the diseased area as you can.  Pull off as many of the diseased leaves as possible.  Clean up every leaf that falls off the bush as there are fungus spores on all of it. Don't put the leaves in your compost pile!  Then spray with a fungicide that lists it can be used for black spot.  Be sure to saturate the leaves on both sides.  The bush should be dripping wet.   Do this all again in about three weeks. That should clear up the problem.  Spraying and sanitation are the best treatment for this fungus.
