Oh well, may as well come out. i think there always comes a time when you have to give up on certain plants, for me it’s roses. They are hopeless here. Either they don’t like the acid ground or the altitude, ‘they’ say roses don’t like clean pure air, maybe that’s the reason.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

I'm not sure what the issue is as my neighbour has loads of fuchsias in multiple pots and baskets with no sign of it.
He's in his 70's and been gardening for years, when I asked him about fuchsia rust he hadn't even heard of it!
Update- considering this fuchsia is STILL flowering pretty well it would be a shame to get rid, I used this stuff on it and it kept the rust at bay successfully-
Rust here with me on geraniums, I remove the leaves and let them carry on flowering, if it gets too bad I suppose I will destroy them but it seems a shame when they give so much pleasure.
