black spot doesn’t kill and my rose is still blooming; but the leaves, the leaves…. |

Each falling one a spear to the heart... Superb write, my friend... so vivid I smell the sweet... feel the loss.  |

take soap and water dilute it and spritz the leaves more roses come spring (and now ya'll know why I don't do those) and smiling at you Ed...I realize this about more than horticulture, but as for my answer, shrug, that's me... As Dorothy Parker once said, in a favorite quote of mine, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."  ?Good luck Sir Greenthumb! |

Karen is right about that way to get rid of blackspot. Also, time and change (spring) and all will be better. I came back to say, talk to your rose...they like that! |

Nice! I feed mine dehydrated manure. They love it! ...and the scent of the rose improves. |

Black spot, when they say it, rose growers cringe....nice that a poet notices... I refrain from planting all but disease resistent hybrids on my landscape jobs... I plant "Knockout" for a shrub type, and if people insist on a hybrid tea..."Yellowstone" seems to be free from the problem. ________ __ice ><> |
