Plant disease involving yellow leaves black spots

Hi,
I have a small patio and growing plants in pots. My new honeysuckle plant and my trailing fushia seem to have the same disease which affects the leaves. Lower leaves develop black spots and then leaf turns yellow and falls off. I've been watering generously every day as my garden is very sheltered and gets hot. Ive got other plants in my patio but it seems to have only affected these 2 plants. I'm worried it will spread to whole plant 
See pics. The first is the fusha, the second 2 are the honeysuckle.
I've done a bit of research on the internet and some advice says to water generously every day, other says not to over water. I'm very confused. Any advice is massively welcome. Ta

oh black spot , i had the same on my climbing rose last year(thought it was a gonner) but bought rose clear and now its looking great, you might be too late to fix it this year( i dont know im new to this but try) but im sure the rose clear will fix it if u spray it at the start of next spring its not just for roses
also get some westland rose feed and feed the plants regularly ( start now) this should help too
Thank you Jinxygg. Great advice. Ta.
Your honeysuckle is too dry Suzie. It doesn't need spraying, it needs drenching with water weekly, at least 2 gallons. It'll recover on it's own if you keep the roots cool and moist.
Thanks Dave!
