| Until The post with the Ballerina, I thought all RRV had lots of thorns and twisting. And I thought this very large cane on my little Echo from Connie Hartwell's nursery was healthy growth.
If you need other or clorer pictures to say, please let me know. I have never seen anything but the pictures on this forum, so I don't know, and I would hate to destroy a healthy bush...but not as badly as I would hate to not destroy a sick one. thank you in advance for your help.

| Agree that's OK. I've had RRV on Tausendschoen (parent of or otherwise closely related to Echo) and it looks much worse with really contorted foliage and leaf margins different than |

| Thank you so much!I was just sick when I saw Buford's post and realized that I had to look out for more than extreem thorniness and twisting...the extra large new cane could be a problem. I am such a newbie, and they did find the first case of RRV in Birmingham, (not far enough from here) on a Knock out rose. kay |

| Yes, people are often scared unnecessarily by an unusually strong basal shoot. Good thing you asked before pulling the trigger. |

| Just to clarify--are you referring the RMV or to RRD? Two different viruses. If it is RMV, I wouldn't worry about it. Half of America has been growing RMV roses for a number of decades now. On the other hand, if its RRD, that is something to worry about--like get rid of it immediately! However, neither issue is relevant to your very healthy looking cane. Congratulations on it! Kate |

| I'm glad your Echo is growing so strongly ... you scared me there for a minute. Connie |
