Hideous blackspot on all my roses, can I cut them back?...

How hot is it where your are and or when will it be cooling off? You
don't want to cut them back if it is hot, take off as many leaves as you
can and wait for cooler weather. Black spot does spread.

Thanks for replying...
I'm in Gloucestershire and it has been very wet, although glorious the
last few days!
I have noticed, now that I'm aware of the disease, that our pear and apple
trees are riddled with it and they are impossible for me to attack! In
fact, it is bloomin' everywhere!
Shall I just live with it until Autumn, then get rid of all leaves and
prune the roses?
Thanks

Yes, that is what I would do. Are you spraying?
