Rose Rosette Disease

[Lucille]

A heads up to those who have gardens with roses: the so-far incurable RRD, thought to be a virus, is continuing to spread. To prevent the contamination from infected to healthy roses, it is recommended that one completely eradicate the infected rose, including the root system.

Eep, anything but my roses! Thanks for the heads up Lucille. I hadn't heard of this before.
