Black spot is a fungal disease that weakens roses and negatively affects their development.
Although the disease is not able to kill rose bushes, black spots can cause all their leaves to fall off, they will become very susceptible to other ailments and may not survive the winter. You will definitely not see them bloom in the spring.
How to Prevent Black Spot
To prevent black spot from appearing in the rose garden, gardeners should not allow weeds and pests to appear in the garden.
It is recommended to regularly weed the flower beds, carry out cosmetic pruning to improve ventilation inside the bushes and promptly combat insects that have taken a liking to fragrant flowers with prickly stems.
But much more important than the above are actions such as pruning, watering and mulching.
Trimming
During pruning, gardeners must take care to remove dead or overgrown parts of the plant - this must be done so that the roses look healthy and beautiful.
In addition, pruning can be seen as a stimulus for future flowering.
Watering
Provide your roses with abundant watering - this is a sure way to prevent stress in plants.
Mulching
Mulching helps retain moisture in the soil. In addition, mulch naturally inhibits weed growth and protects roses from adverse weather conditions.
For reference
Roses are a collective name for species and varieties of representatives of the genus Rosehip (lat. Rosa), cultivated by humans and growing in the wild.
