My poor rose bush has always done good. It's gone quite well this year...but..it's getting black spots on the leaves.
Anyone know of a non expensive way to help it? I love my roses, and right now I am out of work and can't really afford a lot of care. Are there any home solutions that might help it??
Rose bushes question!?
I hope someone can offer a more positive answer than mine. I don't think there are any cures for black spot but you can minimize recurrence. The spores of black spot are borne by moisture, so don't work on your roses when they or the surface of the ground below is wet. Pick or trim off any infected leaves, including those that have turned yellow (the next step after they show spots of black); don't forget to clean up any leaves from the ground as well. Maintain the best sanitation you can while doing this so as to not spread the infection (although, as I said, it's primarily done via moisture). Unfortunately, you need to spray every 7-10 days with a fungicide intended for black spot in order to prevent more infections. There are bound to be spores around, including the ground below, where it'll splash up when it rains. So, you need to spray the ground as well (I've not heard anyone mention the possibility, but you might put landscape plastic under the bush to prevent splashup if you can't spray). Some people may claim that you can use baking soda, but tests have shown this to be ineffective. If you can manage it, try a fungicide such as, Manzate?, Maneb?, Daconil? or a Lime-Sulfur compound. I've had pretty good luck with lime-sulfur and it's not real expensive. There's a new fungicide that's systemic that works very well, but it's more expensive. The one I've used is called Infuse, but there may be others now too. I like the systemic because it won't wash off, once it's been absorbed. Black spot may not kill your plant, but it can seriously weaken it if not controlled, because it can denude the plant in the worst case. Good luck.
Reply:Just cut off the black spotted leaves, when the weather dries out they should come back alright.
Reply:There are several different products that are labeled as fungicides either pre-mixed or you mix it yourself (the mix-it yourself would make many gallons of spray). Follow the directions on the package or bottle. In the meantime, roses get black spot and fungus because of cool, wet weather. Make sure you clean up around the rose so that any leaves that have been infected do not linger to cast out more mold spores.
Reply:Your rose bush maybe disease. Should you find a right "medicine" for it. pesticide or antifungus need to be used. Let ask argicultre specialist or experienced farmer for more good information
Reply:Fungus is the problem dept.store should have fungicide.
