What kind of fungus is this?
Question:Whats wrong with this?
I have what i think may be a fungus growing on my rose bushes and now has started spreading to my shrubs. It's not only on the front yard ones but also in the backyard. Can someone tell me what this is and what i can use to kill it off before it kills my plants. I have included a couple pics to help!
Thank You

For some reason, roses seem to have all sorts of problems - the cost of having beautiful flowers. Go to any good garden center (Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc.) and purchase a garden spray meant for roses. Start reading labels and you'll find many that will take care of black spot, aphids, powdery mildew, and anything else that bothers the roses. Use as directed.
Very Important--whenever you trim or prune roses get rid of the trimmings. You should also dead-head roses (cut off the dead blooms) when necessary and dispose of the dead blossoms. If you leave the debris under or near the plants any infection will travel right back to the plant.
Good luck. Roses are beautiful and just enough of a challange to not be boring.
I dont know if this will help but worth a shot...to kill bugs in my plants I use a mixture of plain dawn liquid dish detergent and water (Mostly water with a little bubbles), maybe it would work on killing that? Or could goto a plant store and see what kinda sprays they have, might have an all purpose one.
