The Black Spot: Black spots can be found on the edges of
the leaves as well as the stem of your roses. This is a fungus that
can harm your precious plant, causing leaves to fall off
and the plant to become almost bare. Some varieties of roses
are less likely to have this happen to them. Ensure that fallen
leaves have been removed from the location while watering the plants without
splashing water on the leaves.
Rust: Discoloration can occur caused by rust. It normally
happens to older leaves first and then spreads throughout the entire
plant. To prevent this condition from striking your roses, keep
the leaves dry. Water the ground around the
plant not
necessarily on the leaves of the roses. Water during the day time when
there is time for the leaves to dry and also allow for proper air
circulation around the plant by keeping surrounding plants
pruned properly.
