Hey everyone! I moved into my house about seven years ago and have been working hard to revive the garden. This year, my rose bushes are thriving—one has even bloomed for the first time! But I've noticed they're suffering from black spot. I'm looking for eco-friendly, non-fungicidal remedies since I try to keep chemicals out of my garden. I've heard vinegar and baking soda might help, but I'm really interested in personal experiences. Have any of you used natural remedies that worked? Thanks in advance!

One popular remedy is to use a garlic spray. You can either buy a concentrated version or make your own! It's said to be quite effective against black spot.
If you have any roses affected by black spot, consider moving them away from the healthy ones! You could create a dedicated area for them, maybe in pots on a sheltered patio. It can help contain the issue while keeping your other roses safe.
So far, I haven’t had any black spot problems this year, and I think it’s because I’ve been good about fertilizing. This is the first year we've consistently done it, and the roses seem really happy!
