One of my cheap plants (from one of those huge rose farms in Texas) has what
looks like Line Banding rose mosaic virus. At least I THINK that's what it
is, based on the pictures in my "All About Roses" book.

Can this be cured with spray? Can the plant clear it, itself, if it gets
really healthy? I kind of like this rose so I'd rather not destroy it if I
don't have to. It's in a pot by itself and it doesn't seem to be spreading
anywhere, but is it possible to cure it?

There is no cure, Jim. Sorry.
