Black spot is a fungus, Therese. You need neem oil or an insecticidal soap with a fungicide.
Be sure it is in direct sunlight, do not let other wet plants grow near it, water at the base, not on the leaves etc. and do not over water. We mulch so we only water once a week or so. Sevin dust is for insects, not mold and mildew. Hope this helps Therese.
I've been told o nce you have it it's hard to get ride of. I had it in wa ,not dry enough for Rose's. Make sure to pull all infected foliage off ,rake all fallen foliage and throw away. Treat plant AND surrounding soils. Try not watering too much.
