Fuschia Rust on Cuttings

I took some Fuschia cuttings a few weeks ago and when taking the cuttings I made sure I used healthy material with no signs of disease.

They were looking fine until I went in my GH yesterday and noticed that some have them have developed fuschia rust :/ Now I know that we're meant to take off affected leaves but considering there are only two of them due to them being cuttings I can't.
So my question is would you recommend getting rid before the others are affected or not?

    Throw them away, in the bin not the compost heap. You could spray your main plants with rose fungus spray, do it from the underneath of the leaves.(if you use sprays). It works on fuchsias.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • I thought as much Lyn, thanks.
