- Avoid watering the foliage and be sure to water only the lower part of the plants. Rose needs at least 4 - 6 hours of sunlight and be sure it has enough. Planting it to some shady area is not healthy and susceptible to some diseases.
- Remove as soon as possible all the infected leaves and pick-up all those leaves that had been fallen. It is not a good idea to let those leaves dried up and just leave it because the disease can be transmitted by other healthy rose through watering. Do not decompose those leaves to make organic fertilizer, throw or burn it.
- Use a solution of baking soda (1 tsp baking soda plus 1 liter water) to be sprayed early in the morning to some affected leaves. Cornmeal can help also to prevent the blackspot disease by spreading it near the plant base. A solution of Epsom salt can help also by spraying it at least twice a week until you see some improvement.
- If you enjoy drinking brewed coffee then do not just throw the used powder, you can add some water and just pour it to the affected leaves. After several days you can see some changes.

be a humble person!
- Be modest. Do not think that you are a better person than others specially to your spouse.
- Do not try to shame other feelings and avoid negative comments just to criticize someone.
- Do not let your pride to rule your personality. Accept some mistakes and be ready to some suggestions that will change your character positively.
