Melissa,

Janet and Moira have given you excellent advice.  

Eden is one of the few roses in my garden that is virtually rust free.  It's 
stunning with beautiful blooms over a long season.  Baking soda, summer 
weight oil such as Sunspray, and a little soap to make it stick, might help 
keep down the rust.   Mix it about a tablespoon each to a gallon of water.

A great newsgroup for rose information is rec.gardens.roses at
