I just planted her last year and she showed signs of virus as soon as she leafed out, but that disappeared when the warm weather arrived, and she did great all summer into fall. So, it was only visible in spring. This year she is showing the lightning patterns heavily now. I hope they go away again like last year when the warm weather really takes over. To answer your question, yes that's RMV on the right side. Mine shows the signs before first flush, and then went away. So, I am giving her just this year to show me her stuff or she's out. She's a beauty when she does look good though. Shame, I bought her before I knew better about where to go for roses. I bought her at Dutch Gardens. I see they are still selling her too. Probably just as virused, and they don't care. Here's a pic of her in bloom last year (sorry it's so large, photobucket is having trouble resizing it I guess lol):

As Mike said above, tree roses are almost always composed of 2 grafts that join 3 distinct 'pieces': The rootstock, the interstock (trunk) & the scion (the portion that produces the bloom). If your plant was a 36-inch rose tree from J&P it's almost certain that the interstock was Grifferaie grafted onto Dr Huey rootstock. If it was a 24-inch tree, it's conceivable that both the roots & the interstock were Dr Huey, altho Grifferaie is often used on those too. If you planted the tree deeply enough, I suppose it would be possible for the interstock to strike roots, but I think that's unlikely. I seriously doubt that there's any possibility De la Grifferaie will be the variety that comes back in your garden. I agree with berndoodle that you can expect Dr Huey to be making another of his unwelcome house calls.

Nope, Diane is right -- it is the grafted variety, not the rootstock that is prone to disease, and determines resistance to disease. The exception to that is when they use an already diseased rootstock -- usually with RMV (rose mosaic virus) -- which happened in the past, but I have not seen diseased rootstock recently with any of the major growers. Other than that, the Dr. Huey roots probably lend the overall rose more, not less, vigor than the original roots (which is probably why that particular rose is sold grafted these days, when the grower can choose either one), and which would also give it more vigor to fight off, or even to grow through, fungal diseases. If you are seeing more disease on the Dr. Huey grafted plants, it might be because that variety was not only not strong enough to grow on its own roots (think Pope John Paul II), but also not a particularly strong variety on the disease front either.

KJM, sometimes there are local sources that would have some of these roses, but you have to hunt around. Occasionally Lowes has had some Explorers or Kordes roses, but it varies nationally. By all means check local gardening sources to see what might be available - I always believe in supporting local stores - but don't expect much beyond Knockouts and a few common Austin and Hybrid Tea roses at most places.Most of these local roses are likely to be grafted onto a rootstock like Dr. Huey if you find them. Most of us end up buying roses online if we have particular ones we want. Mad Gallica's right that Palatine has excellent roses, but being bareroot grafted roses they won't ship again until fall and that's too late to plant in our cold zones for this year. In fact, I'm done planting roses for this year as I worry that they won't establish well before winter sets in. You could get away in July with planting a large potted rose from a local source now, or a hardy rose like the Explorers from anywhere you can find them, but I wouldn't do anything smaller than a gallon rose this late in the year. High Country Roses is a good source for a lot of Explorers and hardy roses, as is Northland. Chamblees is very reasonable for shipping gallons, and Roses Unlimited has a multitude of roses available. If you don't find the roses you're looking for, you can shop online over the fall and winter and have it delivered in April next year to get a good start on the season. Cynthia
