How To treat rose Rust disease.

If only a few leaves are infected, pick them off and as a precaution spray with a systemic fungicide.
If the disease is already advanced when you discover it, spray the bushes fortnightly until the symptoms subside.Make sure you remove and if possible burn any fallen leaves as they are a possible source of infection.

I have had rose rust on my Simplicity roses every year from the first year planted-I have done all the above but consistently this disease ravages my hedge from May through June-Looking for a systemic product other than 3-1 doesn't work and is too expensive. Nursery woman told me it was in the soil so I need to treat the soil-Please help I am ready to yank them out-
