Tomato Blight

We have recently filled in an old pond and are intending to move our rose bed into the site in the autumn. Meanwhile we used the site as an overspill for our bean and tomato crop during the summer. However, our tomatoes have fallen to tomato blight this week which has wiped out the entire crop. My question is, is the site safe to plant roses into in the autumn as I understand they can suffer from blight as well. They do seem to have suffered blight already this year with pink mottled flowers and flowers not opening) so what I can do?

I wouldn't have thought you would see an effect so quickly if it was coming from the toms, and I'm not sure it would be the same type of fungus for the two species anyway [roses and toms are different families] , so fingers crossed

I think l'm right in saying that tomato and rose blight are two different things. As long as you prepare the site thoroughly for rose planting l don't think it will be a problem, but we have several rose experts on here who would be able to confirm . @edhelka might know.
