Thanks, y'all!

Thanks very much, Kevin. 

Nice shots Gary. Though I don't grow it, Peace is a very lovely rose. How is it with black spot?

Thanks.  Same as any other rose.  I tend not to go crazy with "cures" for black spot, rust, funny spotty things, ring do-dads, ad nauseum.  While it may LOOK nasty, the vast majority of my roses seem to come back year after year without me spending a ton of money chasing my tail.  I do what God does... water 'em when it's dry out.  On occasion, epson salts.  Other than that... nada. 

Epsom salts Now that is a new one to me.  How do you use Epsom salts?

1/2 cup into a 2-gallon pail of water and poured at the base of your roses.

Sounds like a plan.

Know what you mean, it can be a pain. I don't have problems with rust but with the temps, humidity and early rains we have here a few of my roses would be leaf bare without a little help against black spot.
