Re: Rosa eglanteria/rose gall -Reply

I just left mine. Mark seemed to suggest that they would be "interesting"
- and the rose bush truly seems unharmed other than having these rather
strange growths. None have hatched yet; none have spread to my other
roses. But they are most definitely active on this one particular shrub.

I should clarify for others - the growth is not really on my Rosa Mundi -
something else which is clearly a rose but not a Rosa Munid has sprung up
in the center of it and will be separated from it next spring.  And the
gall has remained on the mystery rose, and has not invaded the Rosa
Mundi, even though they are growing nearly together. So it appears from
your evidence and mine that it might be species specific? and that mine
might be a dog rose?
