| Just a heads up - I was visiting a nursery in central Pennsylvania near State College and saw a knockout with severe RRD and a few knock outs around it with some possible symptoms. I let the staff know and they removed the infected rose but I wanted to let anyone that might have bought a rose there in the last litle bit to watch their roses carefully. They also do a lot of wholesale sales in the area so if anyone had roses put in by landscapers recently or will be in the near future to watch them. Private message me if you want to know which nursery as I did not want to post it publically since they did remove the rose and agree to watch the ones around it.
I would have posted this in the Pennsylvania forum but there has been absolutely no traffic there and I know a few people on the roses forum are from the area. |

| Isn't it sad that, even in this difficult job climate (when you would think the more experienced folks get the jobs...) the nursery staff have to be told by a customer that one of their roses has symptoms of "severe RRD"? Jackie |

| I've seen it at local nurseries before and told them too. Since they order those plants from a supplier there's no way to know where it got infected. And the kid that they hired to keep them watered wouldn't have a clue what RRD was. The nurseryman probably never saw it himself. It happens but you did the right thing to alert them to it. |

| How was it determined that it was Rose Rosette Virus and not herbicide damage? |
