Rose Growers' Tip: Fighting Fungus With Fungus: Black spot is particularly problematic for rose growers in the Pacific Northwest where cool, cloudy, wet weather is the norm. One organic treatment for black spot can be found right in your refrigerator. Mix ordinary fat-free milk with water in a 1:1 ratio and apply it using a spray bottle. Spray the solution directly onto the clean leaves of your roses. The milk-and-water solution coats the leaves and leads to the growth of an invisible--and harmless--fungus. That benign fungus will prevent the formation of damaging black spot fungus.

One year my roses started with this problem...I started cutting off any leaves that looked to be infected...made sure I removed the cuttings and although the plant looked horrible for a while..it survived and the next year was more beautiful than ever...
