This is all rather annoying, since, as Dr. Kuska points out, none of us
can prove that *any* of our roses is virus-free. I share others'
concerns about spreading virus through pruning, especially winter
pruning. For no reason other than pure conjecture, I tend to think that
the pollen and root transmission is a remote threat I can live with.

Have any hybridizers reported virused seedlings produced from virused
pollen and/or seed parent?

BTW, I can't understand why my Bonica image was picked up by Google in
the rose mosaic virus images. Weird.
