..Jan, Yeah I was a little concerned when I found out the rust is more common in the hot and humid conditions. I am not new to fungus. I will probably get rid of the ones that are considered VERY susceptible because it is hot and humid. Also I do not have them lined out like someone with a business. They are around the house and down the fence and do not get as much air circulation as I would like. I have always had problems with the roses. Little by little I have gotten rid of most of the roses because I just don't have time to spray them every day. The six foot privacy fence around a fairly small yard acts like a sauna and there is little air flow, Something I never thought about before. I will get some type of preventive fungicide-systemic, like Tink recommended. FYI, it takes our grass at least three days to dry whenever it rains. On the flip side, stuff grows like crazy. The plants love it.... well the roses didn't. ..Dot, it seems to be getting to the point where we have less winter and I was worried about the dormants getting the proper cold spell. ..Right in the middle ain't ya Teresa! You go girl....
