Rust on roses

Sigh. Seems like every year, when it starts to get toward summer,
I get serious rust on my roses. I pick off the affected leaves, but
is there anything I can use that will nip the problem in the bud g
Preferably as kind as possible to the environment.

Hi Perse
We don't get much rust up here,
but I had one rose that got it every spring.
It was Dainty Bess.......
Removing leaves helped, but eventually
I tossed her out; no time for spraying etc.
Get rust resistant roses.
Manelli Family is correct-- wettable sulfur,
but don't apply if temp is over 80 degrees.
