To prevent new infections, the rose can be treated with appropriate fungicides. - If infected with star sooty mould, all diseased leaves (black spots) should be removed. If necessary, treatment with suitable fungicides is also recommended. - To encourage the formation of new flower buds, wilted flowers should always be cut back to the next fully formed leaf. - Roses should never be planted where roses have already been growing. If no other planting site is available, the soil should be generously replaced. - This plant does not tolerate heavy soil. If necessary, the soil structure can be improved when planting by working in sand and mature compost.
