Black Spot On Roses

Growing flowers requires passion for plants and patience to treat them. There are many who love flowers and would love to have a rose flower plant at their homes. However, it requires you to spend enough amount of time with them in order to make sure that they grow beautifully and remain healthy. Many rose plants are susceptible to deadly fungal infections; the most common one being black spots on roses. This usually affects roses in warm weather, around spring or summer months and if left unchecked, it spreads very fast and virtually kills the plant.

 

The main symptom that will tell you if a rose plant is suffering from black spots is the physical appearance of the infection. Notice the healthy green leaves carefully. Even a few of them appear to have small circular black spots with a bright yellow surrounding; it means the plant is affected by the fungal infection. Eventually, all leaves start to turn yellow in color and fall off the plant. In case preventive action is not taken, the foliage is affected badly and it appears very unattractive with reduction in number, quality and the size of the flowers that bloom.
