Black spot on roses

[Joe Blow]

Hello everyone,

Can anyone suggest an organic cure for the dreaded black spot on roses
suitable for bushes in Tasmania?

Thanks!

You could try the dilute milk spray and see how that goes (1 part milk
to 9 parts water - works for powdery mildew on squash). Also removing
affected leaves and putting them in the bin. Don't water overhead if
you can help it.

You can also try potash of sulfate.It doesnt cure them but strenghtens the

Joe,

I have often found that the placing of underpants over the
rose usually helps.
