Black Spot Roses Treatment

Black spot is a fungal disease that appears as black and yellow patches on the leaves of roses. In this video, I'll show how to treat the problem in your garden. Because black spot is spread by wind, it's pretty difficult to exclude the spores - so the treatment focus is to reduce severity and re-infection in the garden. I'll also discuss some of the more natural alternatives to heavy-duty chemical fungicides.

Clear, concise, knowledgeable, well presented and without inane background noise or music. Excellent. Thank you.

In india we use neem leaf extract powdered together with turmeric to prevent fungal attacks and we also use neem leaf compost( repeat, compost) into the potting media to safeguard roots and neem, camphor, turmeric paste on cuts (if we had to cut any branch) at the very beginning of the notorious Indian monsoon. Believe me it is a very effective way to shield your roses from being attacked by fugus but remember it is only a preventive measure.

Many videos told me to get rid of leaves with fungus and black spot. They showed the host ripping off the leaves. You are the only person who showed me how to rid the leaves appropriately, by pulling down. I tried your way and it was much less traumatic for the plant. A nice detachment without bits and pieces of leaves coming off. Thanks.

I live in Houston where it obviously is warm/hot and humid much of the year. I’ve avoided roses all my life for fear of Blackspot. But now that I’ve seen many in my region successfully grow roses I’m giving it a shot, with considerable trepidation. Ha! Your classifying it as primarily cosmetic issue that can be controlled gives me some hope. Fingers crossed. Great vid! Thank you!

A few years ago I collected a load of used coffee grinds from McDonalds, I then often piled them around the base of my roses, this pile was about 3 or 4 of inches high. I had seen somewhere that the old coffee grinds would feed the micro life, that in turn would feed the roses. This would allow the roses to become very healthy and be strong enough to resist the black spot. I was amazed that my roses that year showed 'NO' black spot. I had used a lot of coffee grinds, not a small amount..

I've been pulling those ugly black spot leaves forever, as my dad did in his extensive rose gardens.
I plan to clean up very well this fall and put in new bark after I prune the plants back, in January
I really dislike the stuff & thought it was something I was doing wrong. I hadn't realized it came in on the breezes.
Thank you for this great video with down to earth usable information!
Glad I found your channel!

My rose teacher on the other side of the world :) Thank you for another great issue. Now I can be less anxious about these on my roses.

[RICDirector]

Thank you so much! I asked Baldo Villegas about my black spot and he and others just keep telling me, there's no blackspot here, we have anthracnose. My roses look precisely like yours in this video. And YES I am tired of leafless roses!

You are so clear and thorough. You are my garden guru. I’m a pretty good gardener, and I know a lot but you seem to nail the problems that affect most gardeners. Thank you❤️

[jeangreenwood]

Thank you for the information on treating unsightly blackspot. I love my beautiful roses and the sight of this horrible fungi destroying the leaves upsets me greatly. Now hopefully I'll be able to keep the whole lot looking good. Jean Greenwood

Thank you for clear information on treating roses with black spot.

[kristiananielsen]

I think this is the first time I've heard the truth about Black Spot. I remain discouraged but at least I won't waste my money on fungicides and other chemicals. Thank you.

[Enfrance]

I had pretty much decided not to continue to grow roses because of our black spot problems in previous seasons. However, Jason you have managed to give them another chance. Your articulate and reasoned presentation has inspired me to give it a go.

[lorilandwehr]

I was going to avoid growing roses for this reason, HOWEVER now that i know this, I’m going to give it another shot!!! Now I know not to worry about all the black spots & just remove them!! Thank you so much!!!

[janetcorey]

I appreciate your no nonsense approach to helping us grow better roses. Many thanks.
