Never mind - figured it out.............. Rosette Rose disease, RRD. Looks
like it's terminal.

Hi!

I have a fairy rose growing oneach side of the steps tomy deck. Every
year
I trim them back to about 3" in the spring. They have been there for
about
3 years - doing great. THIS year however is another story. The one on
the
left leafed out beautifully and is doing fine. The one on the right just
grew out these mutant blobs of green spikes - like a ragged broom.

Any idea what may have caused it? I cut all of the blobs off, but then
the
subsequent growth came back mutant again....
