The best method for keeping your roses disease free is to prune heaver to keep your plant open, so during its blooming months it has space to breath.

Say no to chemicals! They are harmful to our enclosed bubble (environment) and harmful to our wallets! Yes there is a more effective way of dealing with fungus than using store bought junk. Milk and water is one way, another way is by diluting some strong chamomile tea in a hose sprayer and spray the roses until it runs of into the ground.

I have fungus on my roses because of the wet, humid weather. Yesterday I got some fungicide and hosed them down yesterday and today, but I'll try the milk. I'd rather go as organic as possible. Thanks.

I have the black spot on onw of my rose bushes. I am reluctant to using chemichals on my roses. Im trying to care for them in an "organic" manner. Ill give the milk spraying a try. thanks for the tip.
