      I used Westland Plant Rescue to get rid of scab on an apple tree and I think it would work on rust. I've a suspicion it's on the 'withdrawn list' but you might be able to get hold of some. The active chemical in it is Difenoconazole which as far as I know in now only available to commercial growers.
