I have never sprayed or watered this rose and it never has any disease problems. It does not require pruning unless you need to do so to keep it within bounds. The only time I had some blackspot was when some periennals grew up around it, blocking the air flow.

Comments: This is an extremely easy rose to grow and well suited to organic gardening methods.
