Any suggestion what to use on Hollyhocks for rust on leaves?

    My hollyhocks are covered with rust but I just plant them at the back of the border and enjoy the flowers.

    Bad this year here too. I sometimes take off the leaves but don't spray or treat.

    Thanks all - seems at the moment it is something I have to live with. Will take on the idea of planting at the back of border.

    I was recommended to use Roseclear Ultra by my local garden centre and it seems to work but you have to use it before the rust appears, ie as the leaves begin to emerge.

    Rose Clear will work if you want to spray
