And Ann agrees with me that what you have is unmistakably Rose Rosette
Disease. I am sorry that I was right, for once.

Now for yet another thing you probably do not want to hear and most
certainly will not thank me for saying:

You're right.

I would not screw around with this thing and risk losing my other
roses. I would blast the hell out of the entire garden with Cygon,
reapply according to instructions, and when it is dry I would get
the infected rose the hell out of there and burn it.

I'm going to try something different. I'm going to do the Cygon thing
and watch this plant and its neighbors for odd growth. I'm going to do
this every single week. I'll evaluate what I need to do based on this
"death watch". g The instance of this odd growth was at leat 10 feet
from the roots. Hopefully, I'll have excised the offending cane in
time (time will tell).

I am getting rid of my multiflora asap.

Probably a good idea, although I have to wonder how much protection
you can offer if the mites can travel tens of miles though clouds.

Maybe the ticket is just routine Cygon spraying.

PS, I meant to thank you publically for your quick response to myfirst
post...
