| Hi. I love reading the forums. I think that they are very useful. I had a wonderful display of spring roses. I still get enough to pick until the Autumn flush. I have to keep up a regular spraying routine as B.S. can easily appear. To my annoyance I had a bad outbreak of rust, I tend to have it in Autumn but I have never had it so bad in all the years I have been growing roses (despite spraying regularly). Is it a bad year for rust or have I just been unlucky? |

| Maybe it won't stop rusting completely, but when you have problems like that, I've discovered that feeding through leaves helps roses to look healthier and encourage better leaf growth. Roses can take epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) like that (see instructions on the package), and those organic, non-burning dynamic lifters and sea weed (again, see instructions first). Don't forget: don't feed your roses in the hot sun; it may hurt them more than rust. - Tom |

| If you're using the only substance that controls Blackspot, Triforine, then that is supposed to control Rust also. |
