My granny born in 1889 never through a thing away, it’s not the oldies, our grannies or even us to be blamed for throwing out and buying new, it’s the latest generation who can be blamed for consumerism, all stemming from instant gratification.

Ah @Lyn it's always easier to blame the youngsters...like every generation has done from time immemorial. Bad apples in every generation, but look at Greta Thunberg, there's definitely hope
I once took my 90+ grandma to a cotton mill where they passed around samples of each stage of the process. When each sample got to her she popped it into her pocket. The people beyond her looked a bit miffed but didn't dare to say anything.
On the way home we took her to lunch at a cafe which had a bowl full of sugar packets on the table. She emptied the bowl into her handbag.
Seems like people here have never use the product in the garden and making comments from that perspective. I have so listen up.
You can safely use Jeyes fluid in your garden, just not on edibles. It generally comes in a metal can.
Before you start, get a watering can you can dedicate to using for this in the garden. Fill the 10 litre can with water first, then add 4 caps Jeyes fluid to the water. Use a stick to stir and mix. Add a squirt of dish washing liquid to get it to adhere to the foliage. Then sprinkle over the roses. Not only will this deal with black spot, but mildew, aphids and ants. There will be an odour but that disappears in a few days.
Jeyes has long been known in South Africa as a garden disinfectant for the garden.
@ozvikingsgK4GbSF8 I think you'll find lots of people here have used it and then discovered the problems with it when it's used casually in the garden. Fine for cleaning out a dustbin if well diluted, and pouring out into a drain, but not for using in soil, and especially not near edibles. I should qualify that by saying - it will still get into the waterways which definitely isn't good, but neither is bleach and several other disinfectants, so extreme caution should be used.
Your opening statement of 'I have so listen up' is patronising -at best.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good for scrubbing out the goat pens and milking area once or twice a year ... on a hot dry day when it can be left to dry ....... keep cats away from any accumulation of it on uneven ground/puddles where they could lap it up ... cats love it ... and it's toxic to them ... they die an agonizing death.
Not the sort of stuff I'd ever use in a domestic garden.
