It goes back to "it depends" ... According to most recent research there are 15 or 16 races of black spot world wide, with each race having "families" within them. In the United States there are said to be five active races impacting roses here. Not all roses are susceptible to all races of black spot. Nor are all races of black spot active in all parts of the United States. So, the black spot in your garden may not even be active in the United States and what works for you, may not work for someone here.
Also, I found it interesting that black spot resistance can change over time. Lots and lots of variables ...

As you once posted, there is no universal answer when it comes to growing roses, but it is always worth looking at what others have found that has worked for them.

Is the blue a campanula? I love your use of various shades of greens and different plant heights to really showcase the roses.
I want to dig up my yard and start over! Or just come visit!
