Gardening 101 by Dr. Greenthumb - Roses (Black Spot)

🌱 Black spot is a fungal disease that can infect roses if leaves or flower petals are left at the base, eventually infecting the whole plant.

🌱 Infected leaves will die and fall to the ground, composting naturally into the soil, which can be a problem.

🌱 To prevent the spread of black spot, it is important to remove all dead leaves that look like the infected ones, regardless of the time of year.

🌱 Pull off any leaves with black spots and remove them from your garden, making sure not to compost them or mix them with other noxious weeds.

🌱 It is important to stay vigilant and keep an eye out for any signs of black spot, regularly pruning and removing infected leaves to maintain a healthy plant.
