|
|
Hi all,
Is it actually May in Denton Texas? Rainy weather is causing my roses to develop black spot. I don't know what the best course of action is while it is still raining and no end in sight. I have treated with garrett juice and baking soda, but I figured it just all gets washed off with the continual downpours. I hate to complain about rain, but my roses have never had this problem before.

| It will go away when things dry out. Even my antique roses, which rarely gets black spot, has it cause of the rain. When you know it'll be dry for a few days, just spray the leaves with either garrett juice or Bioform, which is my fav. |

| Sure...it's seaweed and fish emulsion. I heard that Home Depot carries it now in the organic section but I buy all my organics at Redentas at Skillman and Oram in Dallas. |
