Crown Gall
Comments (4)Karl is absolutely right on here. This is an unfortunate event and is not infectuous to any other roses in your garden unless they get injured and allow this particular bacteria to enter that wound. I have successfully replanted roses in holes where I had a previous gall infection without incident. I did dispose of all the soil I could when getting rid of an infected rose, replacing it with a mix of good garden soil and native soil in the hole. I have heard that some even treat the spot with a bleach solution, but I think that is a bit extreme and might end up doing more damage to other beneficial organisms in the soil that are necessary for growth of a new rose.

Comments (9)But there you are, Kim -- Over the years, I have received FOUR plants with gall. One was a potted Austin rose, bought from Sassafrass at a ridiculous price (remember Sassafrass?). The other THREE galled plants all came from Heirloom. The two virused Dark Ladies were also identically galled. So was the Souv. du Docteur Jamain. None of them actually got roots into the ground, fortunately, but it's possible I may have spread it, pruning. So, treating things with gall and then selling plants from their infected mother stock doesn't seem to work well, IMHO. So, unless it was the ONLY one in the world, I'd STILL dump it. Because it is a FAR worse thing to have in the garden than RMV. We found a remarkably beautiful Maman (or White Maman) Cochet in the Sierra Foothills. Did not collect from it, because it was so badly galled. And that plant is gone, now. Jeri...See MoreCrown gall plant disposal question...
Comments (8)Kimmsr, I read the article and it specifically talks about trash burning. The paragraph that talks about wood burning actually states that clean dry wood produces little pollution. One should never burn trash, but clean wood produces less pollution then burning oil. The particulate matter in wood smoke is heavy and quickly settles to the ground. Wood also produces the same pollutants rotting as it does burning. True in some circumstances wood burning becomes a problem when air is trapped, as in Denver. Burning oil produces lighter chemicals that escape the trap and become someone else,s problem. Burning a couple of Wisteria in a hot fire will contribute little to pollution, so pick up four cans that should make up for it....See MoreCrown Gall - any other options?
Comments (10)Mine is an own root rose I got as a band in 2015 I think. I have not seen this before here. I understand some rose purveyors have sent infected plants and other people have the bacteria in their soil. I do hear you have to replace the soil where an infected plant has grown if you take it out. In theory, an own root potted plant might have less scrapes and wounds that the bacterium can enter. Some grafted and bare root do arrive pretty beat up. I remember reading on the forum that some people have gall on a rose that looks fine otherwise and if it was still attractive they just leave it. I have never read of it spreading all over from one infected plant. I have read of some commercial growers having their fields having a widespread infection with contaminated soil, sadly....See Morepat_bamaz7
