Black spot roses. What can I plant in a raised bed by their fence that will be resistant and survive?

[horti]

My neighbour’s back garden is full of very tall, leggy, roses with severe black spot. Their fence is a short picket style with a row of tall rose bushes with severe black spot planted flush to it. No chance of them changing this or treating the roses in the foreseeable future.

In my back garden, what can I plant in the raised bed/border by that fence that will be resistant, and survive?

I like to grow things I can eat, or make things with, if possible.
(My front garden is planted with herbs and elderberry, yarrow, and clover)

My back garden is a work in progress.

I have three plants ready to go in my back garden - elderberry (black beauty), and two Little Miss Figgy (dwarf) fig trees.

I have two raised beds - one running along the fence I share with 'black spot roses neighbour', and the other on the opposite side of the garden.

The raised bed to be planted up next to the 'black spot neighbour' is filled third manure, third compost, third topsoil. London, West facing, fairly sunny position.

Thanks in advance for suggestions :)

Black spot on roses is specific to roses. You’re worrying unnecessarily. If you’re growing edibles, you'd be more at risk from chemical spray drift if they did start treating.

Black spot is specific to roses so as long as you don't grow roses, or stick to very resistant varieties, you should be fine. Other than that I'd say the world is your oyster- what sort of look do you want? Cottagey, structured, jungle?

Thank you both for the info and reassurance :)

I will put in the elder black beauty as a start. I like edibles / ornamental edibles and anything good for pollinators and wildlife. @LadyGardenersQuestionTime not structured, or formal, just down-to-earth, useful for me and pollinators.
Any suggestions to go with the elder black beauty? Thanks :)

Salvias can help reduce blackspot, so maybe add some in to your planting and it might improve the look of next door's roses - they're beautiful and good for pollinators too

Is that perennial or annual salvias?

Thanks @helly29 re salvias.
(Thought the thread had gone cold, deactivated the account and then saw you replied so new name but same OP).

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow I've just used perennial salvias - I've got Salvia nemorosa caradonna, but I don't think it matters. Salvia greggii are smaller if space is an issue
