I have replanted in the same place many, many times, but I've always waited a year. The one rose that kept coming back had been in the same place for about a hundred years (based on the remembrance of a neighbor in his 90s who had been caught by the paired thorns at the base of each leaf node when he was pushed into the mature rose as a little boy.) It had roots going out fifteen feet into the yard and it kept sprouting RRD sick growth for 18 months after we removed the original bush. Give yourself at least through the rainy period next winter and early spring growth. And watch like a rose hawk. Ann

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.

Thank you Henry, this seems very timely. It hasn't arrived in my part of the US but I'm sure it won't be long.

New link for recorded copy: https://www.starrosesandplants.com/articles/tips-expert/managing-rose-rosette-disease-landscape The email that I received also contained an attachment to a booklet titled: "Rose Rosette Disease: Guidelines for Landscapes". I could not figure out a way to create a link to this attachment to put here. I put the title in quotes and tried Google. It did not find it. I assume that sooner or later they will have a link to it on their web page: https://www.starrosesandplants.com/
