Rose Rosette Report = Colonial District ARS

10 years ago

"There are two avenues of thought concerning what to do with infected rose bushes. One is to immediately remove the rose, put it in a trash bag and dispose with trash (do not put in compost). The other idea is to remove the infected cane to stop the disease. Over 90% of attendees in the room acknowledge having Rose Rosette in their garden. Only one claimed to have controlled the disease by removing the infected cane."

What a nice news letter! I enjoyed reading it.

I think if only one out of 90% had any success with just removing the infected cane that says a lot. For my money I'd go for removing the plant,.

Unfortunately, the article did not say how many tried just removing the infected cane.

Seil and Henry,
Also missing is how many tried removal at first sighting. Most people waffle.
And unsaid is the class/classes of roses that the folks grow. From speaking to that group, I'd guess that the majority grow modern roses because they are rose show centric. I've had little luck saving Hybrid Teas and Floribundas but very good luck saving older roses and shrub roses.

Unfortunately there's nothing in the scientific (or otherwise) rose literature about basic differences in rose classes, pretty much you either read about exterior appearances or differences at the genetic level.
