Default RMV... What do you do after?

I have a climbing angel face that I ordered from Wayside Gardens this
spring. It has been growing well, but now shows clear signs of RMV.
What do you do after you find that one of your roses is virused? Do
you shovel prune or let it live its life out? The problem for me is
that most climbers take at least 3 years to establish and by that
time, I'm not sure what to expect from a virused rose in terms of
vigor and general performance. On the other hand, the plant looks to
be doing fine, and I'd hate to toss it.
