Pirl, I have been spraying Messenger on my roses since they leafed out. And I have black spot and mildew. So forget that theory. LOL I need to spray with a fungicide now. I have been too lazy and it is spreading.

I do have incredible blooms but I did last year also without using Messenger. I discovered putting epsom salts down a month before they leaf out does the trick. They explode in spring. I also gave them my alfalfa sludge very early on. Really helps.
