    really hoping this is just the frpst a few nights ago but wary of black spot. Had ot bad last year and cut everything back til it was gone and have been very careful so far this year....have sprayed twice already for prevention. Any ideas?

    Really thinking its just frost but looking for reassurance I guess

    Good afternoon @Snorky85 my friend it looks alright for the moment ,but to be on the safe side carefully remove the infected leaves and dispose of them ,,put them in a bag and put them out with the rubbish not on the compost heap,please if there are any leaves that have fallen on the ground remove them as well as the spores can lay in the soil,which usually happens over the winter,but it looks good to me(prevention is better than cure);)
