No disease yet while some surrounding ones are getting BS and cercospora. Too early to tell though. As the weather warms (and I continue to inoculate with BS leaves and spraying with BS-infused water,) greater truth shall emerge.

In our climate zone 4,we use whey or fermented buttermilk diluted with water to strengthen the immunity of seedlings and rose busches and prevent diseases.It can be sprayed and watered.Good viable becteria increase resistance.

As a hybridizer, my goal is to INCREASE the probability of blackspot in my seedlings so I can assess resistance more effectively.
