Some folks may not agree with me on cutting away green foliage. But I have essentially done away with leaf spot in my garden by trimming back any leaves showing the spores. Rain will splash the spores to newly emerging leaves... and on goes the problem. I don't believe a slight trim will hurt your bloom at all.

I've attached a photo of some plants that went throught a good trimming session in previous years. They are all in pretty good shape now.
