There are several fungal diseases that attack roses. The ones commonly seen in the Bay Area are R

ust and Powdery Mildew. Occasionally we will also see Blackspot. These diseases, while commonly found in all gardens, are easier to control if measures are taken to prevent their attack on our roses. If you are unsure as to what fungicides you might want to use, be sure to call one of our Consulting Rosarians. (Photos courtesy of Baldo Villegas.)

This is a list of roses that seem to resist being infected by these fungal diseases. While no roses are utterly fool-proof, these do a pretty good job of staying healthy if they are well-cared for (food, water, adequate hours of sunlight).
