| Easy Does It is holding its own, with only about 3 leaves of many showing blackspot. The Strike It Rich rose, however, is losing more and more leaves to blackspot. I can't imagine why. There is plenty of air circulation space between canes, but every day I have to remove 6 or more yellowed black spotted leaves. Not that many leaves left on the poor bush! WHAT can I do? |

| I have about 50 or so plants and have resigned myself to spraying as often as necessary but the rewards are justified. there are organic methods you can try like earthworm castings tea sprays. They work by making a inhospitable environment on the rose leaf for fungal spores to grow. There are so many "good bacteria" on the sprayed leaf that blackspot can't get a foothold. If you want an article about same let me know I'll look it up for you and post it. |
