Thanks! I would have liked to have purchased a healthier plant, but my
nurseries of choice did not have roses. I knew I was going to have a
fun time getting this plant back to good health. Now that it's been
almost a week, I'm going to start on the spraying and fertilizing
regiment. I didn't want to overwhelm the plant.

You probably know this but just to be sure, be aware that the
anti-fungal sprays do not cure black spot. Rather they prevent the
spread and infection. So, black spots on leaves caused by this fungus
will not go away after spraying. That's okay, a few black spots
certainly aren't going to do much harm. I just wanted to be sure that
you (and anyone else reading this) understand that while spraying
regularly can keep the rose fungus free, any plant parts affected by the
fungus are not going to turn green again. And you don't have to remove
those leaves with just a few small spots, either. They are still plenty
healthy enough to provide photosynthesis for the plant and if you spray
regularly, you'll control the spread of the disease.
