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.

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.

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

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Lorna

[@juliefarnaby2958]

Perfectly put and agree with you totally. Thank you to FVRF for making this video...

[@PeriLyons123]

Agreed!

[@MsLouisVee]

This is by far the most articulate, to the point, intelligent, organized video I have ever seen on plant care. No Rambling, no talking on and on; just information. you are a great speaker and have great knowledge of your roses. thank you very much. Subscribed ❤️🌱

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks so much for the feedback

[@tianyushen6876]

like his other videos. This is the top channel for learning about rose culturing.

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..

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Nice. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@janetchickey3577]

I also tried the coffee ground method my black spot has almost completly cleared my roses doubled size l never had so many bloooms I also changed the mulch removed all leaves best rose year ever

[@naomibrandt3260]

Does lots of coffee grounds negatively impact the soil nutrient balance?

[@emmagregory7262]

To Naomi, we share our coffee grounds with most of our plants, in particular the Camelia as it loves an acid soil and we are a bit limey here. We've found it boosted worm numbers in a very short time and the camelia went from sad to happy (we also moved it from a too dry site to a more balanced spot - sun for the first half of the day then shade). You'd be surprised how good a steady supply of not very many coffee grounds mounts up. On top of that, caffeinated coffee grounds are a slug deterrent. Good luck!

[@heyyou4023]

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.

[@HoustonKeith72]

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!

[@Enfrance2003]

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.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I hope you have a great season!

[@tianyushen6876]

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.

[@roshidahlong5584]

Thank you so much Jason for such an informative tips and guides. Love to hear the sweet sound of singging birds in the background😍

Thank you for this! I am so glad I found your channel - you give great, fuss-free down-to-earth advice!!

[@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!

[@Siamesemama1]

Thanks! What a relief to listen to you discuss this subject/solution. BTW, your solution for leggy seedlings worked better than I had hoped, & my "nasties" are humming along! Thank you so much!😸

[@carmrana584]

[@danceme2endoflove]

Thanks so much. I love your videos. You are not very lengthy like some other experts. Keep up the good work!

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Excellent video. You give such clear information and explain way more than anyone else. I had no idea that it cannot actually harm your rose, that it is only an eye-sore. I know now what to do. Thank you so much.

[@elisabethloxley6124]

Many thanks Jason, I will follow your advice, we are well into the blooming season in the Southern Hemisphere, and we get plenty of rain. So we are plagued with black spot. As you say, the blooms are unaffected, but it is unsightly. The overall view of the garden is beautiful though, regardless of the black spot. Thanks again

[@basilvictorhomer]

Much appreciate the comprehensive advice, especially regarding watering and blackspot. So helpful to understand what exactly is going on with the plant in the first place. Big thanks.

Thank you so much! This has been the best information I have seen yet for black spot. Last year it was awful, I lost blooms completely for the entire season. I am very excited to learn more about how to care for my roses better this year.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Leah - sounds like you had a heck of an outbreak of blackspot! Better luck this year

Thank you so much for your advice. That was perfect!

[@pennypenny2588]

This was so helpful. I have actually loved on my roses more this year than any other year and have seen this black spot. I thought it was something that I was doing like over or under watering. Good to know that it is not nearly as detrimental as it appears sometimes.

wood chip mulch really helped mine this year. thanks. I'm looking forward to next year.

[@lethalchicken1173]

So helpful. I've been scratching my head unable to fully get rid of blackspot organically, yet observing that my roses don't seem truly harmed by it. It's so relieving to hear that there's not really any avoiding it and that it's only a cosmetic issue. Thanks very much!

[@narnianiche9585]

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for creating these for us!

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

Thanks so much Simon

[@ellenhofer3343]

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!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Me too. Thanks Ellen

[@judygreen1952]

thank you, this is awesome, I now have some answers and much to do. Hopefully I will achieve a better rose bush next season.

[@elsafischer3247]

Thank you I didn’t know how to deal with this

[@shannonshannon9146]

Than you for this videi. Very helpful. Exactly what I needed.

[@blueskies6475]

Plants are really smart! I did not prune last year and was late pruning this year, but I found the canes on the inside of the bush already dead! Very easy to remove!

[@kristiananielsen3798]

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.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great informative video 💙

Thank you for your time in explaining so thoroughly! I was looking for a fungal treatment for my roses so I’ll be trying the baking soda spray so I don’t kill anything if I use harmful chemicals.

[@cornstar1253]

I've used a liquid sulphur compound diluted in water. Worked great

[@Mxtraveler]

On research, I decided to go to a rose gardener for the best information. Thanks!

[@crveye]

Just recently discovered your you tube. You're awesome. I am in western Washington, so a similar climate as you. Your info is very good and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really needed this. My roses are stunning for 30 years. But black spot has plagued me in the last few years. Thanks for the info.

Thank you, all your videos have a good information. 👍

[@barbaraeifler1302]

Jason, you’re my „Go To“ guy for any Rose questions. I’m a relative newcomer to growing roses, but thanks to you, they’re doing well. Bought them from you and they’re doing beautifully thanks to your advice. Thank you so much, they „Make“ the front garden, so glad I can access your information online.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

So nice to hear you're enjoying this little corner of the hobby

[@helenlevens6278]

This is very interesting. I only have one rose, but it's amazing! It's a Peace rose and this is it's fifth year. Each year it gets bigger and has more blooms despite lack of "proper" rose care. This year it has black spot. So I'm pleased to know that it's not a serious problem (apart from how it looks). 😁 Thank you for this information.

[@relaxorsleepsmoothlee7157]

Thanks. Been watching your videos a few years very informative

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I very much appreciate the feedback!

[@dm4859]

Thank you. Confirmed I am doing the right things, except cutting the leaves off rather than removing the way you do. Good video!

[@elaineedgar2913]

I used to have to collect Neem leaves from our trees in India. My Nana used to boil them and use the cooled water to wash her hair. I’m going to try the Tumeric paste on cuts. This post is excellent and so under stated and peaceful. Thanks from the UK.

[@andrewjames6676]

Hi again, Jason. Here's a black spot (on Albertine) update on 20 May. No black spot at all except on new leaves at the top that grew after the Bordeaux mix followed by horsetail decoction. Looks like this is the way to go!

[@jenniewilliams1668]

Agree so much wiht MsLouisV below - Jason is outstanding. I'm just about to get my first truly difficult plant, Souvenir du Docteur Jamaine - blackspot and other diseases prone. I purchased the ingredients for the potassium solution that you describe here last year - but really didn't have a need for it. The plants that did survive the winter (ALL of the planted, and one of the potted) just didn't need it last year - I was careful to remove leaves etc. This year I'm upping my game on many levels - and will do my best to get Souvenir through with my zone 5 intermediate gardener ability. Thank you again Jason. Warmest regards Jennie
