Garlic & Chrysanthemum Rust

Hello,
I planted my Autumn Garlic a couple of weeks ago and it has started to show growth.
However they are planted alongside some Chrysanthemums in a Raised Bed and it seems even after removing all the affected leaves on the Chrysanthemum's a few weeks ago, Chrysanthemum White Rust has returned.
Is my Garlic safe alongside them or am I best chucking the Chrysanthemums out straight away? Problem is the flowers on them look lovely so it would be a shame, but I don't want my Garlic to be affected.
You can see how badly they are affected on this photo.
Thanks in advance!

Chrysanthemum rust is caused by Puccinia horiana while garlic rust is caused by Puccinia allii (syn. Puccinia porri). Therefore they will not attack other plants outside their preferred species
