Field trials of Rose Rosette Disease susceptibility
Comments (3)Some degree of resistance, allowing the plant to live longer, just means that plant is a more efficient reservoir and transmitter of the disease. So I don't think this finding should scare anyone away from Flower Carpet. There is no indication here as to whether the resistant species are carriers or not. But if many species are resistant, obviously there's a chance of breeding resistant garden roses. The history part of this article seems faulty. As I understand, RRD is probably indigenous to North America. The acute problem began when people in the ag school at Iowa State took it from the California mountains and spread it to the multiflora population on the Great Plains....See MoreRose rosette disease -Wind Chimes
Comments (7)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...See MoreRose Rosette Disease - Any THS Members?
Comments (7)No, Connie Hilker doesn't sound familiar. I do think she lived in the southern region. The reason I stated THS was because we are talking maybe 15 - 20 years ago? I would welcome and love to hear of anyone who is presently well informed on rosette disease. I never paid as much attention to the subject as I should have....I was more worried about growing healthy roses and fighting black spot! Is Anne Peck an active member who checks in? Thanks for responding! Rose...See MoreKnockout Roses--is this Rose Rosette Disease?
Comments (17)Sorry for the delayed response. It has been a very hectic past few days! Dumb question. Is RRD contagious? Meaning if I try the wait and see approach (by removing only the impacted canes instead of digging up the whole plant) with the roses who don't seem to have it as bad yet.....will I take a risk that somehow the RRD could get transmitted to the roses who don't have it? I would hate to lose any of the seemingly healthy roses by doing this. Moving forward, is there anything I can do to lessen the chances of the roses getting RRD? This summer Japanese beetles have been widespread in this area. Honestly, I can't ever remember them being this bad before now...or ever even seeing them really. I know of several other people who have knockout roses here and everyone is having the same problem with the Japanese beetles feasting on them. So as bad as it may sound, I can take some solace in knowing it is not just my roses that are getting hit. Is there anything I can spray on the roses to prevent Japanese beetles from attacking them?...See Morequiltkitty (Mid TN - zone 7a)
