| | | No spray gardening
I am trying a second year of no spray gardening but the blackspot fungus is getting out of control. Last year I just removed the infected leaves and added charcoal ashes to the soil around the base of the old shrub and climber roses. Is there a wildlife friendly solution please? |

It is most damaging on two old french climbing roses "Madame Isaac Pereire", and an "Iceberg" climbing rose on an arch with feeders underneath.
I will have a look on "Organic Gardening" - thanks. |

I had that the last two years on my climbing roses, golden showers, I didn't do anything other than feel depressed and cut them right back as most of the leaves had fallen, this year they have no sign of black spot 
The one in the front garden  |

Black spot is a good sign of unpolluted air so at least some consulation | | |
