Re: Bug or disease?


Cathy, 
<Carleen - that last question referred to the spacing of the leaves -- do
<they look bunched up?>

 Yes, the leaves are bunched up a bit.

<kinda sounds like some rosetting there.>

What is rosetting?

<I don't vote for bugs at all -- i vote for a virus, especially since it
sounds
like you got all these grafted from the same mother plant, which is how
we spread it.>

I suspected virus, also.

<Sounds like rose spring dwarf. prune it with a shovel.>

What is 'rose spring dwarf'?
I have lot's of rose books with pretty pictures, but as I 
can see I am going to need a book with some knowledge
of bugs and disease. Or throw out anyone [roses] that
gives me any trouble. [somewhere in the middle]
Can you beleive I've actually owned roses for over 16 yr.
course only the hardy and robust made it. Planning to
be more attentive and I'm getting an eye full. Ain't that
how it happens! 

Any suggestion on a good book?
