Black Spot is a disease that most often infects roses in warm weather and high humidity. Infection mostly occurs from spores splashing up onto the new growth from the fallen leaves and stems. On occasion, the spores can be brought in by air movement. Therefore, removing infected canes and leaves from the area is the best means of pest control. This disease is easy to recognize.
