"Black spot"

Black Spot or Black Spot of Rose is a disease common to roses, caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae. The name of the disease comes from its effect on the plant; it causes black spots to appear on leaves, which eventually yellow and die. The black spots are circular with a perforated edge, and reach a diameter of 14mm. Badly affected plants, however, will not show the circular pattening, as they combine to cause a large black mass. The common treatment of the disease, is to remove the affected leaves, and spraying with anti-fungal solutions. Some stems of the roses may become affected if untreated, and will cause progressive weakening of the plant. It is usually recommended to remove the plant, as it will not yield well, and will slow the spreading of the disease.

Rose Black Spot (638 words)
Rose fl spot, caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae, is the most common cause of defoliation of landscape roses in Eastern United States.
Black spot can be distinguished from other leaf spot diseases of rose by the generally fringed margins and the darker and consistently fl color of the leaf spots.
Most roses get fl spot to some degree, but roses that have been bred for resistance to this and another common disease of roses, powdery mildew, will require less maintenance than those that are known to be susceptible to these diseases.
