Talking about rust, my hollyhocks, which are supposed to be rust

when they emerge from the roots, I will treat as I was told that they
will be affected again??


Sorry, I don't know. I've noticed that my chives tend to come back the
following year clean of rust even if they die off with it over Winter;
however they seem to get it again after a while. Not sure if the rust
overwinters or if it is a fresh infection due to stress. The baking hot
dry Summer seemed to stress a lot of plants - and it isn't convenient to
water everything.
