I am so happy I could help you. You better do something about the blackspot. When you have it bad I use Mancozeb. It is Manganese and Zinc. It is an organic product. That product is the only thing that will kill the blackspot sprores

Good day, I read Your reply and have to respectfully disagree on being organic of Mancozeb, in the case You would mean organic as a way of gardening.

And it is more than just Zinc and Manganese. See for instance: Wikipedia.
Where is stated that Mancozeb is a non-systemic agricultural fungicide it is a dithiocarbamate... and that is a functional group in organic chemistry. When You meant organic (carbon-based) in this way, I have to agree.

Hello JayJay
Manganese and Zinc are Earth elements. Yes they are chemicals, not man made. BUT No matter what organic thing you use IT is a chemical. Water is a chemical There are just more friendly chemicals to use.
Manzate really does a good job. I'm starting the season with an application to clean up any spores that are in my mulch!
Good luck battling blackspot
Dan

Hi Dan

I am wondering if you still grow Elsie Melton , I have been Searching for this rose for many years to include in my hybridizing efforts. i lost my plant to a freak snow storm halloween of 97 and i have been trying to find a source for this rose since. If indeed you still grow it or know someone who does i would be most interested in obtaining cuttings and i will gladly pay for all costs involved. Many thanks

Carl Woolsey
