more on the Hosta virus

Here's a portion of an email from a nursery regarding hosta and the  HVX:
 
<<we don't have Gold Standard.  The last few batches of starts  we 
brought in were also infected with HVX, but we found it before selling  
any and destroyed them all.  For now I do not recommend growing Gold  
Standard.  Even the most reliable nurseries are having trouble getting  
clean batches and some in the industry are considering a moratorium on  
growing any more Gold Standard, Golden Tiara, and So Sweet until these  
plants can be sorted out and new, clean batches started.>>
 
Are there any hosta that seem impervious to the virus?
