Diplocarpon rosae F.A. Wolf 1912
Black spot on roses is a common disease throughout the country (Ellis (1952a); Marcussen (1962); and Amos (1963) ). Heavy infection causing considerable defoliation in summer seriously weakens the plants. The disease is important in commercial plantings. Sprays of captan and folpex have been recommended for control of this disease.

The black colour is due to a dense subcuticular network of dark hyphae. Conidia oval to elliptical, 1-septate, 20–25 × 5–6 μm, smooth, hyaline.
Distribution: Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wanganui, Wellington, Nelson, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Chatham Islands.; 1st Record: Kirk (1901: as ‘black spot’).
