Rose black spot.
Hi, my name is Linda and my question is about Rose black spot. I know about clearing away leaves and cutting back etc., but what about treating with fungicide over winter? Has anyone any experience? Should I wait until after the winter cut back before spraying and then at regular intervals as suggested by the manufacturer of the spray, or would anyone recommend spraying during the winter months? This is my idea of getting completely rid of any traces. If so, what would you recommend using and how often would you treat the rose?. Many thanks in advance for any tips and information. We are three rose fans, neighbours and friends who all have the same problem!

I just learned to live with it, it usually doesn't get bad here until the autumn and that's okay with me.
I did not see your reply at first. Sorry. Thanks also four your advise. Most of the fungicides say spray from spring onwards but I had read in a few books on roses where the author advised to disinfect the rose throughout the winter and I was not sure if they meant to use a fungicide spray or how to disinfect the rose. None of them explained this process. Thanks again for your reply!
