Hollyhock fungus

Question

This is the third year my Hollyhock has brown-yellow spots on leaves and stems and I can’t get rid of them with Sevin. Planted four new ones about one to three feet away from the old one and they got this disease right away. I don’t know what it is. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
