Second year in my garden for this rose.  And
second time this year I found that tennis ball
shaped, moss covered stuff that according to
one of my rose books is rose gall (where the
insect bores into the cane, lays eggs and as eggs
grow, cane swells).  For some reason, this
absolutely grosses me out!

Anyway.  My book says its common to species
roses.  This is the only rose I have that gets
this.  Is this going to be a common problem? 
I'd rather get rid of the rose than deal with this.
 I have about 70+ roses on a 70 x 100 city lot,
all old, English, a few teas.  

Anyone have experience with this? Any help is
appreciated!
