Not to grow roses in Pakistan?
I need to reread this a few times as I'm lost Henry...

The proposed virus is located in Arch, Oklahoma, Egypt, London, France and Pakistan? That it infects tomatoes and roses? I'd always read not to plant tomatoes and roses together as they share verticillim wilt. Perhaps what was thought to be verticillim was actually this? Kim

They just had a segment on Oklahoma Gardening discussing diseases and problems with Tomatoes. They showed a Tomatoe with leaf curl and said it was a virus and to pull the plant. Great. What roses RRV hasn't already gotten in my yard, now this new virus will.....Maryl

Here is a link to a full paper. Of interest is the picture of a diseased rose and the finding that this virus is whitefly transmitted.

" Our results showed that the virus was transmitted by whiteflies in a persistent manner and caused systemic leaf curling and stunting on host plants (Table 1)."

From our county which is a major producer of tomatoes, there used to be no problems with white flies. Winter got 'em.

Then farmers started extending their tomato season (and getting more $$$ for the out of season vine ripened tomatoes) by growing their earliest tomatoes in poly houses, and along with the $$$ came some major white fly problems.

Fortunately the tomato growin' is about twenty to thirty miles down wind of my roses.
