Hoffner Nursery & Landscaping on Feb 15, 2012I use a product that is organic and if used 4 times per year should keep your roses nice. Its" Organocide", it come in a concentrate and a ready to spray bottle, I have used it in my nursery for the majority of disease and insect control, as well as in my garden. You can find it in most nurseries and garden centers, if you can find it in a nursery (as much as I hate to send you to the big box store) you can get it at Home depot. Make sure to spray from the bottom, and if you have a bad problem use it two weeks a part for 3 applications.Helpful Reply

Walter Reeves on Feb 15, 2012The key is to never allow a disease like black spot to get ahead of you. If you see yellow spots on the leaves, the disease is already present and infecting more leaves. For a non-organic alternative, consider Bonide Infuse.Helpful Reply
