I have a crop of herbs: parsley,Thyme, sage, oregano. It's in close proximity to the roses, 3 to 5 feet away. I'm hesitant to use something that's going to get into the soil.
But the black spot is rampant, alas.

I use a systemic Fungicide on the roes or they would be a black spot mess. No way can you get that stuff on edibles.

So here is what I would do. Instead of a spray I would mix up the fungicide in a watering can. Then water the roses and the leaves as if you are using a folliage fertilizer. If your careful it will not get near the herbs as this way no drift.
