Just finished cutting off and bagging plumeria leaves full of rust. Had to cut them off because forecast is 5 days of rain. Based on my experience, rust spreads fast after a week of rain.
This is the earliest time I ever have plumeria rust. I suspect it is partly because some of my taller plumerias (with no blooms) did not go dormant last winter so, they must have retained the rust from last year's growing season. I even had no IDs and trimark blooming in January.
I liked the blooms but I don't like the plumeria rust.
Here's the January bloom
