Blackspot

so the milk neutralises anything harmful in the tap water?

 

I'm sure i've posted something similar on another Rose post....but i never spray my roses against BS....every 4/5 weeks i've mulched them with well rotted FYM....Last year it appeared to work except for the one rose i didn't do.....it was just a experiment....i was maybe lucky....but it was rather interesting don't you think?.....i'm doing the same again ..out of curiosity.....i'll let you know if i fall prey to the dreaded BS

 

Mine are all clear thus far Armandii...fingers crossed ....i'm going by what my old dad has always said....when he would go racing outside when the Rag and bone man had just gone down the street and the horse left it's 'parcel'...."good for the Roses"....mind you that was 'neat' stuff...but i always remember we had beautiful Roses

 

Mine are clear as yet, but they are new plants in a new bed so I wouldn't expect to see anything for a while.

 

Mine are all clear,ive been spraying them with neem oil,no idea if it would make a differance
A friend who lives 5 doors down has blackspot but i think the rose its on is one she bought last yr which was infested then!

 

There is no point spraying them when they got it so im spraying before i do get it Ive noticed on the standard rose i bought it had greenfly but it also must have ants in the pot as they up&down eating them i think..so ive not sprayed it,nowt worse than greasy smelly flys for ya tea xx

 

Is this black spot?



I've got skimmed milk in the fridge I can begin treating it will if needs be

 

Thank you, @wiseowl ... haven't seen any dropped leaves, but will double check when I snip off the infected ones.
