My poor climbing rose bush!

Rust looks like a bright orange powder, which appears on the underside of leaves and will spread to other parts of the plant.

 

Rust can be a real problem in a rose garden and, as with powdery mildew, should be treated sooner rather than later.

 

Again, try to keep the leaves, stems and flowers of roses dry, which will help prevent the spread of rust throughout your garden.

 

Chemical rose disease and fungus control products can help with Rust, however, very often removing affected parts of the plant may be your best choice.

 

An organic treatment for Rust is the same as with Powdery Mildew.
