Roses wilting

11 years ago

Hi all, I live in Austin, and normally my roses do very well, although they have been doing fine my Julia Child rose bush has been getting a lot of black spots on its leaves. So far nearly half the leaves are gone. I know this is not fatal because this has happened before just not as much. I am concerned that the amount of rain we got here the past month is and the amount of humidity are the culprits. Anyway of trying to fix this problem?

Thanks,

David

Blackspot can be controlled by spraying in a tank sprayer a product containing propiconazole (Banner Maxx and other brands) or tebuconazole (Bayer Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs) at two week intervals. Or you can wait it out, as summers in inland Texas are usually too hot for BS to spread a whole lot.

You have had so much rain of late that it isn't surprising at all that things are spotting. If you can wait out the weather it should clear up on it's own.
