Lori-
you having a lot of rain where you're at? (and that's peony,) th
black
spots sounds like Black spot or fungus that also attacks roses. Thi
late
in the season, I'd just clip the leaves and completely remove them. I
there are a lot of them and you have time, spray with a fungicide an
remove any fallen leaves from underneath and dispose of the (n
compost
pile for them, the landfill as the fungus will reproduce in you
compost
pile and spread back)
madgardener-
A neighbor had some success last year spraying her roses with a water
baking soda solution. Salty, ya know? She didn't say how much bakin
soda
she used, but for reasons I can't explain, I'd start with 2-
tablespoons in
a quart.
here is a link that might help some with the baking soda idea :). goo
luck, sockiescat.
