One progress report - rose rosette virus
Comments (4)The problem with the Knock Outs isn't the rose, it's the fact that most of them are in huge mass plantings that NO ONE tends. They plant them and forget them. Oh, someone may go by in the spring and prune them down with hedge trimmers and maybe if it's really dry throw some water on them (not even that in most cases though) but they're not really cared for. So when one plant does become infected it isn't caught immediately and ripped out and burned. It stays there infecting more and spreading the disease (and the mite that carries it) to more and more places. I know several people who have seen infected plants and notified the business of the problem and still nothing was done. They aren't rose people and they don't care....See MoreNorthern report concerning rose rosette virus
Comments (0)"Dave Gade heard talk of rose rosette disease for 20 years before he ever saw any sign of it. As garden operations supervisor for SchenectadyâÂÂs Central Park Rose Garden and a master rosarian with The American Rose Society, he has tended a lot of roses during the 40-plus years heâÂÂs been coaxing the thorny perennials to grow. But it wasnâÂÂt until recently that the disease, which has been on the radar in the U.S. since the 1940s, hit close to home. Two years ago, Gade received phone calls from two Capital Region residents whose rose bushes had mysterious ailments. He went to take a look, and diagnosed both cases as rose rosette disease..........................Last summer, the disease reared its head in GadeâÂÂs home garden, in a bush that had been in his yard for 25 years. He also discovered it in several of the 4,000-plus bushes in the Central Park Rose Garden."

Comments (18)I'm new to roses (planted my first rose garden in 2011) and, thus far, they're all healthy, but I do read a lot and want to be educated and ready to remove plants if it becomes necessary. I saw my first RRD rose at my local independent nursery a few days ago. A landscaper had brought in a branch and blooms. The horticulturist on staff at the nursery was kind enough to gather a few of us around and point out what to look for. In all honesty, it looked really different in person than what I had here-to-then seen online and read in descriptions of the virus. It was really helpful to see the "witch's broom"-like growth, the blooms that looked like it was grown at a leaking nuclear plant, and the weird thorniness that were like thorn-hair. This particular afflicted plant was off a Knockout variety but I know it can affect all roses, so I'm watching everything at my house, praying that I don't have to "euthanize" any. Pretty scary. Wish there was something we could do to avoid it. Makes you feel so helpless. . ....See MoreFirst Report of Rose Rosette Disease caused by Rose rosette virus on K
Comments (4)Ann, the virus has been found in Bossier City (just about on I-20). http://bestofswla.com/2015/12/03/witchs-broom/ "Bossier shares most aspects of its climate with its sister city of Shreveport. The city has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with hot, humid summers and mild winters. During the warmer months, the city is prone to severe thunderstorms which feature heavy rain, high winds, hail, and occasional tornadoes. The city has a slightly above average rate of tornadoes when compared to the US average.[15] Due to the flat topography of the city and the prominence of smaller waterways that are prone to backwater flooding from the Red River, the city occasionally experiences severe flooding events. A notable occurrence of severe flooding occurred in March 2016 after torrential rains caused a rapid rise of many local waterways, displacing upwards of 3500 people from their homes across the area.[16][17] Freezing and ice storms occasionally occur during the winter months." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossier_City,_Louisiana...See Morestillanntn6b
