So I have been doing a lot of travel for work this growing season and spending less time than usual in the garden, which will be evident from the amount of weeds you will see in these photos.

However, I got home today after being gone since last Thursday and walked the garden. I got chills when I saw it.

The red looks so different from the new leaves growing at the bottom.

I took the cane off as close as I could to the graft and brought it inside for photos before disposing of it.

It is a September Moon floribunda planted around June of this year. It is a frontal rose in my beds so I am confident I would have noticed it if it was apparent last week. Hopefully I caught it quickly enough that it can be saved.

Unfortunately, I went deeper into the bed (that is 30' across) and of course found another. This is a Heart Song HT that has always been sickly and never quite productive so I never gave it much attention.

Here is what the plant looks like after I removed the cane:

What new growth looks like on the plant that was not on the infected cane:

I cut the cane off but I think I need to dig it up this weekend. You can tell the cane was much more infected and thus had been infected for much longer based on how far down it was shooting off shoots with symptoms.

These roses are approximately 8' apart. Between them there are perennials and a beautiful Purple Pavement rugosa. I am not too sure about the symptoms of RRD on rugosas but I have had this one for two years. Anyone think the below looks fishy?

(Yes I have also not deadheaded this year)

So I learned a lesson today. I knew about the possibility as I live in central Pennsylvania with multiflora everywhere. I specifically chose my home and gardening spot due to its location (large spruce border the entire property providing a windbreak, no known rose gardens in the neighborhood, closest multiflora I saw in the spring was over a mile away). However, I obviously did not do a thorough enough job checking as often as I should. Hopefully this is the last of it for a long time. Wish me luck! Thanks for reading!
