A rose fungicide on amazon.co.uk is a ready-to-use spray, a concentrate, or a mixable powder aimed at black spot, powdery mildew, or rust. This shelf mixes authorised plant protection products, pesticide-free plant-health sprays, and third-party bundles. Toprose Control and (model 86600038) and (model 86600250) match manufacturer records for tebuconazole plus trifloxystrobin. The amazon titles do not print those names. The Royal Horticultural Society does not recommend routine fungicides, and fallen leaves carry black spot into the next season. Black spots with leaf drop, white powder, and orange pustules are different problems. Greenfly on clean leaves is an insect job. How to choose is in the [rose fungicide buying guide](/hub/plant-accessories/rose-fungicide/sub/rose-fungicide-buying-guide). An authorised amateur pesticide has a number you can check on the HSE garden database. Do not describe it as the same control.

The best rose fungicides in detail

RoseClear 3 in 1, 2 × 800 ml

Rank 1

RoseClear 3 in 1, 2 × 800 ml

∼£11

Our view

RoseClear 3 in 1 in this set is two 800 ml ready-to-use sprays at £10.98, and the listing names fatty acid and sulphur, plus aphids, black spot, powdery mildew and rust. The customer-reviews line is 4.8 from 7. The saved listing contains two short UK reviews, both positive, with no fault described. The interval cell says further infestation and gives no day count, so a 7–10 day line from another retailer’s label does not belong on this row. It does not describe a concentrate. Seven reviews are not a reason to place it above sprays with thousands of ratings, even though the actives are printed. Model 119980 is the ready-to-use pack of two.

Pros

  • Names fatty acid and sulphur
  • Names black spot, powdery mildew, rust and aphids
  • 2 × 800 ml at £10.98

Cons

  • 4.8 from only 7 reviews
  • No day-count interval on this listing
  • Two short UK reviews, with no fault described

Best for: Aphids and a named fungus together, if you will take the interval from the bottle rather than from this row

Less suitable: Anyone choosing on star rating alone, or a fungus-only job where you want a large review sample

Common questions

What active ingredients does the listing name?

Fatty acid and sulphur. The bullets also say it kills aphids, larvae and adults, and controls black spot, powdery mildew and rust.

How many reviews are on the listing?

The customer-reviews line is 4.8 from 7. The saved listing contains two short UK reviews, both positive, with no fault described.

Is this the same as a concentrate Ultra bottle?

The listing is a ready-to-use pack of two 800 ml sprays, model 119980. It does not describe a concentrate.

Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, 2 × 1 L

Rank 2

Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, 2 × 1 L

∼£16

Our view

The Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus row is two ready-to-use litres at £16, and the bullets name black spot, powdery mildew, white rust, leaf spot and box blight, with contact and systemic cover for up to 3 weeks. Across 6,900 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.4, and the listing sits at rank 1 in Garden Fungicides. The title still says 1 L while the volume field is 2 litres and the unit count is 2, so you are buying a twin. A review says tomatoes were not on the approved list and the spray scorched them; the listing only says select edibles and does not print a crop table. Indoors, a review describes a dark purple-brown spray that drips on houseplant leaves. It is the top pick in this set because it is the largest review sample on a spray that names those rose diseases. One litre is the cheaper buy if a single bush is all you have, and you should skip this pack if the plant is not on the label.

Pros

  • 4.4 from 6,900 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Names black spot, mildew, rust, leaf spot and box blight
  • Contact and systemic, up to 3 weeks
  • Rank 1 in Garden Fungicides, 2 × 1 L at £16

Cons

  • Title says 1 L; the pack is two
  • A review reports tomato scorch where the crop was not approved
  • A review describes a dark drip on indoor leaves

Best for: A garden with more than one rose, or box blight as well, if you will follow the label and want the 6,900-review sample

Less suitable: One bush where a single litre is enough, or any edible the label does not list

Common questions

Is this a single litre?

The title says 1 L and the pack note says the details apply to each unit. The volume field is 2 litres and the unit count is 2, so the listing is a pack of two.

Can it go on every edible?

The bullet says select edibles. A review says tomatoes were not on the approved list and the spray scorched the plants. The listing does not print a crop table.

What do reviewers say about indoor use?

The bullet includes houseplants. A review says the spray is dark purple-brown and drips on indoor leaves.

Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 1 L

Rank 3

Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 1 L

Our view

The Toprose Fungus Control and Protect trigger is a 1 L ready-to-use spray at £8.52, model 86600038, and the bullets name black spot, powdery mildew, white rust and leaf spot for up to 3 weeks. Across 1,935 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.4. Among 50 UK reviews a repeated point is that it sprays on clear and does not leave white marks. The same sample says black spot can return and needs another application, so the three-week line is not a one-spray finish. The suitable-for bullet includes the garden, conservatory, greenhouse and home, and it does not name a pet interval. It is the best value here when one litre of that disease list is enough. The £17.04 twin is the same model twice, and this listing does not name box blight or select edibles the way the Provanto bullets do.

Pros

  • 4.4 from 1,935 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • 1 L at £8.52, model 86600038
  • Names black spot, mildew, white rust and leaf spot
  • Reviewers say it sprays on clear, without white marks

Cons

  • Reviewers say black spot can return and needs another spray
  • No pet interval in the listing
  • Does not name box blight or select edibles

Best for: One rose bush, or a short row, when you want a named disease list and a litre under £9

Less suitable: Anyone who wants the 6,900-review sample, or box blight and select edibles named on the Provanto bullets

Common questions

Does the listing say it can be used indoors?

The suitable-for bullet includes the garden, conservatory, greenhouse and home. It does not name a pet interval.

Do the reviews mention a white residue?

Among 50 UK reviews, a repeated praise is that it sprays on clear and does not leave white marks. A separate complaint is that black spot can return and needs another application.

Ecofective Rose Defender RTU, 1 L

Rank 4

Ecofective Rose Defender RTU, 1 L

Our view

Ecofective Rose Defender is a 1 L ready-to-use spray at £4.99, and the specification target is insects. No disease is named in the bullets, and no active ingredient is in the saved listing. Across 415 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.3. Of 35 UK reviews, many are about greenfly, split between a quick kill and no effect after a whole bottle. A minority mention mildew, rust or a fungal infection. Reviews also say the bottle they received had no contents list. It is ranked in Garden Fungicides, which does not turn the listing into a black-spot spray. The country of origin is given as the United Kingdom.

Pros

  • 1 L at £4.99
  • 4.3 from 415 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Target species on the listing is insects

Cons

  • No fungus named in the bullets
  • No active ingredient in the saved listing
  • Greenfly results split, including no effect after a whole bottle
  • Reviews say the bottle had no contents list

Best for: Greenfly on roses, if you read the bottle you receive and do not need a named fungus

Less suitable: Black spot, mildew or rust, where the listing never names the disease

Topline Clear Bug rose spray, 2 × 800 ml

Rank 5

Topline Clear Bug rose spray, 2 × 800 ml

∼£17

Our view

Topline Clear Bug is two 800 ml ready-to-use bottles at £16.99, and the bullets call it a 3-in-1 insecticide and fungicide for aphids, whiteflies, black spot, rust and powdery mildew. Across 82 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.3. Several of the 16 UK reviews say a white deposit stays on the leaves after rain. Others say black spot or greenfly was reduced. The specification table does not give a bee time. One review says the bottle itself said to spray before 9am and after 7pm. There is no systemic claim and no day-count interval on the listing. You are close to the Provanto twin’s price, with a much smaller sample and a residue complaint.

Pros

  • Names black spot, rust and powdery mildew
  • Also claims aphids and whiteflies
  • 2 × 800 ml ready to use

Cons

  • White deposit stays on the leaves after rain
  • Only 82 reviews, 4.3
  • No interval and no bee time in the specification table

Best for: Roses that have both greenfly and a fungus the bullets name, if you can accept a white film

Less suitable: A fungus-only job, or anyone who wants a clear spray and a review count in the thousands

Not in the specification table. One review says the bottle itself said to spray before 9am and after 7pm.

Topline Rose Clear Ultra bundle, 200 ml

Rank 6

Topline Rose Clear Ultra bundle, 200 ml

∼£19

Our view

The Topline Rose Clear Ultra bundle is a 200 ml 3-in-1 concentrate plus a 1 L sprayer and a Topline card, at £18.99. The bullets claim black spot, rust, powdery mildew, aphids and whiteflies. Across 29 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.3, and the display sample is six UK reviews. One of those says the pack arrived with no instructions. Another says greenfly remained and black spot started after the stated dose, evening spraying and shaking. The specification table does not list a leaflet. This is not the ready-to-use RoseClear 3-in-1 twin in this set. The review sample is too thin to treat the 4.3 as a settled result.

Pros

  • 200 ml concentrate plus a 1 L sprayer
  • Claims black spot, rust, mildew, aphids and whiteflies
  • You mix it rather than buying two ready-to-use litres

Cons

  • One of six UK reviews says no instructions arrived
  • A review says black spot started after the stated dose
  • 4.3 from only 29 reviews, at £18.99

Best for: Someone who already mixes concentrates and has checked the dilution on the bottle they receive

Less suitable: A first spray, or anyone who wants a ready-to-use trigger and a larger review sample

One review says greenfly remained and black spot started after the stated dose, evening spraying and shaking. The other reviews are short delivery notes.

Westland Fungus Guard, 800 ml

Rank 7

Westland Fungus Guard, 800 ml

Our view

Westland Fungus Guard is an 800 ml ready-to-use spray at £5.90 whose bullets say pesticide-free, biodegradable and non-toxic, and that it removes disease spores. They do not name black spot, powdery mildew or rust, and they give no repeat interval. Across 458 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.2. In 50 UK reviews the sprayer is a repeated fault: it stops, especially near the end of the bottle, and people decant it. Others say it did nothing for mildew or black spot. The specification table has no pet or harvest interval. Non-toxic is a bullet, and a harvest-until-picking comment appears only in a review. At this price it is a plant-health wash, not a rose spray with a named disease.

Pros

  • 800 ml at £5.90
  • Listing says pesticide-free
  • 4.2 from 458 amazon.co.uk reviews

Cons

  • Bullets do not name black spot, mildew or rust
  • Sprayer stops, especially near the end of the bottle
  • Reviews say it did nothing for mildew or black spot
  • No interval in the specification table

Best for: A gardener who will not buy a pesticide and accepts a spore-wash claim with no named rose disease

Less suitable: Black spot, mildew or rust that you need the label to name, or anyone who wants a trigger that lasts to the last of the bottle

Tricho Protect bio fungicide, 2 × 200 g

Rank 8

Tricho Protect bio fungicide, 2 × 200 g

∼£42

Our view

Tricho Protect is two 200 g pouches at £41.78, and the listing names Trichoderma harzianum at 2 × 10^6 CFU per gram. The title says each 200 g makes 20 L of spray and recommends it for black spot on roses. The bullets also name root rot, damping off, wilt and fruit rot, and they do not name rust. Across 363 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 4.2. In the 50 UK reviews, several say the powder arrived in an unmarked black pouch with no dose or precautions. Others say weekly use reduced black spot. A review says it had little effect on rust. You are mixing a biological powder, not pulling a ready-to-use trigger. At this price the missing label on the pouch is the reason to pause.

Pros

  • Names Trichoderma harzianum and a CFU figure
  • Title recommends it for black spot on roses
  • 4.2 from 363 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Each 200 g claimed to make 20 L of spray

Cons

  • Reviews describe an unmarked pouch with no dose
  • £41.78 for 2 × 200 g
  • A review says little effect on rust
  • Rust is not in the bullets

Best for: Someone who will mix a biological powder for black spot and can confirm the dose on what arrives

Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 2 × 1 L

Rank 9

Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 2 × 1 L

∼£17

Our view

This Toprose listing is two 1 L triggers at £17.04, model 86600038, the same number as the single litre. The disease bullets match: black spot, powdery mildew, white rust and leaf spot, contact and systemic, up to 3 weeks, used at the first sign of infection. The listing line is 4.0 from 1 review, and the saved listing has no review text. You pay £17.04 for a second bottle of a spray already sold here at £8.52 with 1,935 reviews on the single. The suitable-for line still includes home, conservatory and greenhouse, with no pet interval. A one-review twin is not a separate formula and not a second opinion. Buy the single unless you already know you will use two litres.

Pros

  • Same disease bullets as the 1 L Toprose
  • Contact and systemic, up to 3 weeks
  • Model 86600038, 2 × 1 L

Cons

  • 4.0 from 1 review, and no review text
  • £17.04 for a formula sold as 1 L at £8.52
  • No pet interval on the listing

Best for: Someone who has already used the 1 L and wants a second bottle of model 86600038 on one order

Less suitable: A first purchase, where the 1 L listing has 1,935 reviews and costs £8.52

What interval does the bullet claim?

Up to 3 weeks, from a contact and systemic formula, used at the first sign of infection.

Vitax Rosegarde, 750 ml

Rank 10

Vitax Rosegarde, 750 ml

∼£14

Our view

Vitax Rosegarde is a 750 ml spray at £14.17 whose title says combined insecticide and fungicide for roses. The listing does not name an active or a disease, and the target-species field says insects. Across 18 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 3.9. One review says a fungus was gone within two weeks and the rose bloomed. Another says it keeps plants free from bugs. One reviewer read the label and binned it as unsuitable around children, pets and bees. That concern is in a review of the label, not in the specification table. At £14.17 you are buying a short sample and a blank disease list. The saved listing is not a basis for guessing what is in the bottle.

Pros

  • 750 ml spray aimed at roses
  • Title says insecticide and fungicide together
  • One review reports a fungus gone within two weeks

Cons

  • No disease and no active in the saved listing
  • 3.9 from 18 reviews
  • A reviewer binned it after reading the label on children, pets and bees

Best for: Only if you have the bottle in hand and the label names the pest or disease you actually have

Less suitable: Buying from this listing alone, where black spot, mildew and rust are not named

Provanto Natural Feed and Defend, 1 L

Rank 11

Provanto Natural Feed and Defend, 1 L

Our view

Provanto Natural Feed and Defend is a 1 L ready-to-use spray at £6.95. The target species is fungus. Powdery mildew, rust and edible crops appear in a keyword line, not in a structured bullet list, and no active ingredient is named. Across 33 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 3.8. Of the four reviews in the saved listing, two say it is doing the job, one has not yet seen an avocado improve, and one says the bottle was a year out of date. There is no interval and no black-spot line in the specification table. It is a low-priced plant-defence spray with a thin, mixed sample. It is not the Fungus Fighter Plus twin, which names the rose diseases in the bullets.

Pros

  • 1 L ready to use at £6.95
  • Target species on the listing is fungus
  • Two of four reviews say it is doing the job

Cons

  • Mildew and rust only in a keyword line
  • Black spot is not named
  • 3.8 from 33 reviews
  • One review says the bottle was a year out of date

Best for: A fungus wash under £7, if you check the date on the bottle and do not need black spot on the label

Less suitable: Black spot, or anyone who wants a numbered interval and a named active

Rose Guard Natural, 2 × 800 ml

Rank 12

Rose Guard Natural, 2 × 800 ml

∼£20

Our view

Rose Guard Natural is two 800 ml pesticide-free triggers at £19.99. The bullets name powdery mildew, aphids, whitefly and spider mites, and say shake and spray both leaf surfaces, reapplying every 7 days or before problems start. Black spot and rust are not named. The listing line is 3.0 from 1 review, and the saved listing has no review text. The bullets say bee and wildlife friendly when used as directed, and safe around children and pets. That is a listing claim, not a test. At £19.99 for a one-review sample it is a dear way to buy a mildew-only spray with a 7-day repeat. The indoor line is yes, which the cheaper pesticide-free bottle in this set does not state.

Pros

  • Pesticide-free, ready to use, no mixing
  • Names powdery mildew and a 7-day repeat
  • Also names aphids, whitefly and spider mites

Cons

  • 3.0 from 1 review, with no review text
  • Does not name black spot or rust
  • £19.99 for 2 × 800 ml

Common questions

Do you have to mix it?

No. The bullet says shake and spray both leaf surfaces. It is a pack of two 800 ml triggers.

Which fungus is named?

Powdery mildew, with reapplication every 7 days or use before problems start. Black spot and rust are not named.

What is the review sample?

The listing line is 3.0 from 1 review. The saved listing has no review text. The bullets say bee and wildlife friendly when used as directed, and safe around children and pets.

How we compared

Twelve rose-fungicide listings on amazon.co.uk were scored on 16 October 2026. The editorial score is not the star rating times 20. Stars contribute up to 15 points, review volume up to 40, the disease listing up to 30, and price fit up to 15. Points come off for scorch on an unlisted crop, a sprayer that stops, an unmarked pouch, a white deposit, a review with no text, or a bottle a year out of date. There was no garden trial. A 4.8 from seven reviews does not lead the table. Twin packs that repeat one formula are not treated as a second product.

Rose fungicide buying guide

Name the symptom, then the legal type, then the review sample. A pesticide-free bottle, a systemic ready-to-use spray, and a mixable powder are not the same purchase. The notes below follow that order for these twelve listings.

What is a rose fungicide?

A rose fungicide on this shelf is a ready-to-use spray, a concentrate, or a mixable powder aimed at black spot, powdery mildew, or rust. Authorised plant protection products, pesticide-free plant-health sprays, and third-party bundles are not interchangeable. An authorised amateur pesticide has a MAPP number you can check on the HSE garden database. A pesticide-free spray, such as Westland Fungus Guard, is a plant-health product on its own safety sheet. Do not describe it as the same control.

Best for

  • Black spot, mildew or rust when the listing bullets name that disease
  • A ready-to-use litre under £9 with a review count in the thousands
  • A pesticide-free wash only if you accept that the disease may be unnamed

Not ideal for

  • Greenfly on otherwise clean leaves, which is an insect job
  • A crop the label does not list, including tomatoes called select edibles
  • Dieback or honey fungus, which a leaf spray does not fix

Mistakes to avoid

  1. 1

    Spraying the wrong symptom

    Black spots with yellowing and leaf drop are black spot. White powder on young growth is mildew. Orange pustules under the leaf are rust. Greenfly on otherwise clean leaves is an insect job, not a fungicide job.

  2. 2

    Treating a pesticide-free spray as an authorised fungicide

    Westland Fungus Guard is a plant-health product. Its bullets do not name black spot. A MAPP number on an authorised amateur product is a different legal type. Pesticide-free does not mean it is that product.

  3. 3

    Expecting one spray to finish the season

    The systemic bullets say up to three weeks. Reviewers say black spot can return. Spotted leaves do not turn green. Fallen leaves carry the disease into the next season. A white deposit that rain does not remove is a reason to stop.

What to weigh up

Symptom, legal type and format

High

Name the symptom before you compare prices. Black spot, powdery mildew and rust are different patterns, and greenfly is not a fungus. Then match the legal type. An authorised amateur pesticide has a MAPP number on the HSE garden database. Fungus Control and Protect is MAPP 18223. RoseClear Ultra is MAPP 14854, which is not the fatty-acid 3-in-1. A pesticide-free spray stays in its own class. Format is the next split. Most rows here are ready-to-use triggers.

Review sample, interval and what one spray will not do

High

Judge the review sample before the star. Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus is 4.4 from 6,900 reviews at about £16 for 2 × 1 L. Toprose 1 L is 4.4 from 1,935 at about £8.52. A 4.8 from seven reviews, and a 4.0 from one review on the Toprose twin, are thin samples. The twin repeats model 86600038. It is not a second formula. Reject blank or expired stock. Tricho Protect reviews describe unmarked pouches. One Provanto Natural review says the bottle was a year out of date.

Which option suits you?

Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.

A few bushes with obvious black spot

You will accept an authorised pesticide and you want a disease list plus a large amazon.co.uk sample. Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus is 4.4 from 6,900 reviews at about £16 for 2 × 1 L, and the bullets name black spot. Skip it if the plant is not on the label. One review reports tomato scorch.

No MAPP pesticide

You want a pesticide-free bottle and you will accept a weaker, shorter-interval claim. Westland Fungus Guard is about £5.90 for 800 ml, 4.2 from 458 reviews. The bullets do not name black spot, mildew or rust. Reviews include a sprayer that stops and reports of no effect.

Aphids as well as fungus

A 3-in-1 listing names insects and a fungus, and you inherit residue and bee constraints. RoseClear 3 in 1 names fatty acid and sulphur, plus aphids, black spot, mildew and rust, at about £10.98 for 2 × 800 ml. The star line is 4.8 from only 7 reviews, with no day count on the listing.

Common questions about rose fungicides

Which rose fungicide is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, 2 × 1 L, at about £16. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 6,900 reviews, and the listing is rank 1 in Garden Fungicides. The bullets name black spot, powdery mildew, white rust, leaf spot and box blight, contact and systemic, for up to 3 weeks. A review says tomatoes were not on the approved list and the spray scorched them. The title says 1 L; the pack is two. The score uses those listing facts. It is not a garden trial.
Which rose fungicide is the best value?
The best value, once that top pick is set aside, is Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 1 L, at about £8.52. It shows 4.4 from 1,935 reviews, model 86600038, with black spot, mildew, white rust and leaf spot, and a three-week bullet. It does not name box blight or select edibles. Westland at about £5.90 is cheaper and is not this award, because its bullets do not name black spot. Reviewers say black spot can return and needs another application.
How much do rose fungicides cost on amazon.co.uk?
On these twelve shelves, checked on 16 October 2026, entry prices run from about £4.99 to about £8.52: Ecofective Rose Defender, Westland Fungus Guard, Provanto Natural Feed and Defend, and Toprose 1 L. Mid-shelf packs run from about £10.98 to about £19.99. Tricho Protect is about £41.78 for two 200 g pouches. Compare a price per litre only inside the same type of spray. A cheaper pesticide-free bottle is a different kind of product.
Will one spray clear black spot for the season?
No. The systemic bullets say up to three weeks, and Toprose reviewers say black spot can return and needs another application. Spotted leaves do not turn green. The Royal Horticultural Society does not recommend routine fungicides, and fallen leaves carry black spot into the next season. Cover both leaf surfaces. Stop if the crop is not on the label. A 4.8 from seven reviews is not evidence that one application finishes the job.
Can you spray tomatoes or plants in flower?
Select edibles on a Provanto bullet is not permission to spray tomatoes. One review reported scorch and said tomatoes were not on the approved list. If the label says dangerous to bees, do not spray plants in flower or where bees are foraging. A bee, pet, or vegetable sentence on one listing does not apply to another. Read the bottle you receive. This comparison does not claim that any listing is the safest.
Does 4.8 from seven reviews beat 4.4 from 6,900?
No. RoseClear 3 in 1 shows 4.8 from 7 reviews. Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus shows 4.4 from 6,900, and Toprose 1 L shows 4.4 from 1,935. Review volume carries more of the score than a thin high star line. The Toprose twin is 4.0 from one review, with no review text, and it is the same model 86600038 as the 1 L listing. That twin is not a second opinion on the formula.
Is an old rose spray still legal to use?
Use an authorised product only as the label says. If the MAPP number is missing from the HSE amateur database, do not use it. Myclobutanil’s GB approval expired on 5 June 2024, so an old rose spray is not automatically legal. This page does not claim the Vitax Rosegarde listing contains myclobutanil. The amazon file names no active. Take expired or professional-only stock to a civic amenity site. Amateur products need no certificate. Professional products are for trained users.
When should you stop and get help?
Get clinical help, with the label, if a person or a pet has been exposed. A leaf spray will not fix dieback or honey fungus. Spraying only the upper leaf, expecting spotted leaves to turn green, stopping after one application, or spraying a crop that is not listed are the mistakes in this set. Training a climber is a different purchase: a rose arch is the frame, not the spray.

Our verdict

In this set of twelve amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, 2 × 1 L, at about £16. It shows 4.4 from 6,900 reviews, rank 1 in Garden Fungicides, and the bullets name black spot, powdery mildew, white rust, leaf spot and box blight, contact and systemic, for up to 3 weeks. A review says tomatoes were not on the approved list and the spray scorched them. The title says 1 L; the pack is two. The best value is Toprose Fungus Control and Protect, 1 L, at about £8.52, model 86600038, with 4.4 from 1,935 reviews and the same disease list and three-week bullet, without box blight or select edibles. Westland at about £5.90 is cheaper and is not that award: its bullets do not name black spot. Reviewers say black spot can return. None of these rows is a garden trial.
