RE: Rose Rosette Virus

Sr. Marya,

Try buying only own-root roses, your are sure not to get any
r.multiflora root then. Graham Thomas is one of my favorites, what a
terrible loss. I also read somewhere that this disease likes old
roses too. Hope it doesn't spread all about and become a terrible
"plague" for us rose lovers.

You mentioned three roses that this disease took. 
How many other roses do you have ? 
I'm curious of the percentage.

Sincerely,
