You are telling me I can spread Rose Mosaic Virus from my Sonia Rykiel to my other roses if I don't sterilize my felcos?? Here is where I ask you to cite your source. If this is true then RMV is a much bigger deal than I thought. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Tim Tompkins" wrote in message ... RMV can be tranmitted to another rose by the root system if they are close enough that the root systems grow togather. Many plant virus are spread by this means and the only way to ensure that the disease does not spread is to be absolutely certain that the infected plants roots don't involve other plants.

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. Depends on how the plant looks. I have a few that perform, flower and are reasonably disease resistant. But if it gives me any problems, I kill them fast. |
