Rust on Geraniums/Pelargoniums

This happens every year. This year I looked up what to do as I have some nice ones that sometimes flower a bit through the winter and are really filling the pots.

It suggests to cut off all affected leaves and spray with neem oil.

Has anyone tried this?

Did it work or does anyone have soloutions they found worked please?

Last year I have put some in a seperate pot come spring and while they didn't flourish they did come up disease free but this time I'd like to keep them where they are for colour and some cheer.

I've not had rust on pelargoniums, but when I've had it on fuchsias I've learned to bonfire them PDQ. Some commercial remedies seemed to give a measure of success, but then the rust returned. I didn't try neem oil though, so I've no experience in relation to that.
