beav1875 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Anyone try using greencure for black spot on roses? With all this rain I'm getting some blackspot on two rose bushes now. Trimmed off the infected leaves and now it looks naked. Anyone else having issues with black spot yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettavwdrvr Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yes! I have about 15 different rose bushes and only one gets blackspot. I can't figure it out. Mine started getting spots around early April. I bought some fungicide that I found at Lowe's for my other bushes, but it didn't help the blackspot...I thought blackspot was mold spores?

Spygirl06 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 In the May 29th Courier there was a question in the Old Farmer's Almanac column about using chamomile as a "plant doctor." The answer stated that chamomile does indeed often help sickly plants to revive; and, in France chamomile is often grown around rosebushes for that purpose. Don't know if it will help the blackspot or not, but I thought it was an interesting concept worth sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettavwdrvr Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I just googled some info about chamomile - it's an annual, so you have to replant every year. This article has some good tips about planting it and about using it around the house. http://gardenhobbies.com/herbs/chamomile.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the article that one of our garden club members co-wrote as her Master Gardener thesis is still up on our website www.downtoearthgardenclub.org If it isn't still on the front page go under news and click on articles. It's there someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 This is probably a lot more than you really want to know about Black Spot on Roses, but it's complete! :-) http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/disease.cfm?RecordID=981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
