Black spot is a common fungal disease on roses. Here’s how to prevent and treat it:
1. Proper Spacing: Ensure good air circulation around plants.
2. Watering Techniques: Water at the base to keep foliage dry.
3. Pruning: Remove and dispose of infected leaves and stems.
4. Fungicidal Sprays: Use organic fungicidal sprays like sulfur or neem oil.
5. Mulching: Mulch to prevent soil-borne spores from splashing onto leaves.
Tips:
