RE: Rosa eglanteria/rose gall TALKED TO AN "EXPERT"-Reply

Okay.  Finally got in contact with one of my
rose "experts," Mike at Portland Nursery (a very
large well respected nursery in the Portland,
Oregon area).  He does their buying, etc.  He
did recommend removing the plant entirely to
remove the risk.  He said in his experience,
where he's seen it the worst (and I knew you'd
be interested in this Carleen) is in "areas where
there had been old settlements with old roses it
seems to spread the worse."  When I told him I
have mostly old and English roses, he felt that
heightened the risk, he'd rarely seen it on teas.

In the trash for me.  He said it's not necessarily
lethal to the plant, but certainly disfiguring,
and you do run the risk of it "spreading" to the
other plants.

I'm sure like most things, there would be many
who disagree with this approach, but it makes
sense to me to lessen the risk by simply getting
rid of the problem.  Simple and organic ;-)

Hummm... I'm standing by in "watch mode"
with garden pruners in hand.
If I can't stand it, the whole dog rose is out on
it's ear.
