A term which can be used to describe certain plant diseases which reveal themselves as black spots on the leaves. Some are quite startling in the color contrast with the green of the leaf, for example, black or tar spot on sycamore leaves. But the best known of all ornamental plant black spot diseases is that which affects roses, called rose black spot. In this, the spots are usually circular and well-defined but sometimes they are very diffuse and roughly follow the veins in a branched fashion. In the disease of delphiniums called black spot or black blotch, the black spots are of all sizes and very irregular shapes. In black spot disease of elm leaves the spots are shiny, coal black, and slightly raised.
In general, most black spot diseases may be controlled by picking off and burning the affected leaves where this is practicable, or by spraying with a proprietary copper fungicide or with a modern fungicide containing thiram.
Rose black spot is often more difficult to control and it may be necessary to spray at fairly frequent intervals with one of the fungicides mentioned above, or with Bordeaux mixture. Spraying the bare bushes and the soil beneath them with tar-oil emulsion in winter is sometimes resorted to with success. All prunings and affected leaves should be picked up and burned. An excess of nitrogen in the feed may predispose roses toward an attack of black spot. Where the disease is troublesome it may be advisable to reduce the nitrogen content of the feed. A spring dressing consisting of 2 parts of superphosphate, 1 part of magnesium sulfate, 1/2 part of iron sulfate applied at 168g (6oz) per sq m (sq yd), is a suitable low nitrogen feed.

When I moved into my house in mid-February a year and a half ago, one of the first things I did was to walk around the yard, and try to figure out what the previous owner had planted. The winter had been exceptionally mild, and she had done little garden clean up, so it was easy to identify the remnants of marigolds, the desiccated hosta leaves and the naked canes of miniature rose bushes. When I came to the front strip, between the sidewalk and the street, I noticed that there was a bare patch of earth, approximately 18” long and perhaps 8” wide.“Grubs”, I thought, or maybe just drought or dog-related grass mortality.I made a mental note to throw some grass seed on the spot come spring.

Valentine’s Day has just passed, and if you were lucky, someone you love gave you roses to celebrate the occasion. All the romance and fragrance in the air bring to mind one of history’s great love stories-that of Napoleon and Josephine. Naturally the whole tale is full of roses.
This is not to say that I have no other roses in my garden. Life would not be complete without a few good reds, a generous handful of peach-tinted varieties and a sprinkling of whites. This year we may acquire one or two striped roses, and I have a feeling that they may prove addictive. However, for the moment, the yellow roses hold sway in my heart.

There are exceptions, as may well be imagined, among the wonderful variety that is found in roses at the present day. The first exception is found in those varieties that make vigorous growth even when hard pruned; this would seem to indicate that the orthodox method is not for them. Neither, in fact, is it suitable.
