No. The fungus is established locally in the bark and will overwinter there. You need not be concerned with the soil except to pick up fallen leaves that may have been infected.

If you spray Bayer Disease Control twice a month beginning at leaf-out, you won't have a problem next year. If you are using the soil-drench product, that doesn't work well.

Thanks I have been using the soil-drench product, it was helping but not enough. The damage is severe, if I switch to the spray now and use it next year does the damage canes tend to recover or do I prune them out?

The fungus may make red spots on the green canes, but these are nearly harmless in themselves; they will release spores next spring that can infect the leaves, but not if you use a good fungicide. The defoliated canes will leaf out in two weeks. I would prune back to pencil diameter. They will be OK for next year unless they are damaged by winter.

Get Bayer Disease Control for Roses etc. and a pump-up tank sprayer. It's great stuff. Try Lowe's or an Ace Hardware.
