We immediately removed the entire plant, bagged and disposed of it. We were very lucky. The other roses thrived. How have your roses fared since this September post?Anniehttp://goingtoseedinzone5.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886463554262638819.post-88908971091540739182013-10-03T22:49:58.083-04:002013-10-03T22:49:58.083-04:00Henry, two of the roses exhibiting strange growth ...Henry, two of the roses exhibiting strange growth could be from a herbicide that I used the year before planting to kill the bermuda grass. But herbicides were not used near the other three. The infestation is less than 5% of the roses in the garden but it will increase since all of the roses in city median strips are infected. Until they are removed I expect to see a dramatic increase.

In addition to the cane cutting to the ground step that you mentioned, I recommend a thorough watering to remove any possible herbicide from your soil.Henry Kuskanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886463554262638819.post-11454876165765308802013-10-02T12:27:54.629-04:002013-10-02T12:27:54.629-04:00Your Erfurt also has RRD.

Also the asymmetry of the leaves as well as the leaf margins. I've grown Erfurt for almost a decade and that's not what Erfurt is supposed to look like in the fall.<br /><br />Ann Peckann peckhttp://www.rosegeeks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886463554262638819.post-66610392317727343752013-10-01T15:37:05.807-04:002013-10-01T15:37:05.807-04:00I am so sorry that RRD is causing havoc in your ga...I am so sorry that RRD is causing havoc in your garden, and hope that your early detection and treatment will stop the spread of this dreadful disease.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
