I just bought a home in Fairfax earlier this year and it came with five rose bushes. Thanks to you, I was able to determine unfortunately that all of them are infected.
First your roses are beautiful. Second this was the best video on this subject. I thought my rose plant had this disease and I panicked but your video helped me realize it's just new growth. Thank you very much.
You'll have to pull them out and get rid of them, the problem is my next door neighbor has a bunch of roses in 1 bed and hers are worse than mine. Her whole bed is infected.
I lost 8 David Austin roses went years never buying roses just brought three climbers one rambler already is covered in sticky dew but not showing any greenfly .As beautiful as they are they are one very troublesome plant so many diseases constant vigilance puts me off I think this three will be my last shame but too much hassle and disappointment for me.Very good informative video thank you.
I just discovered that my rose bush of 10 years has been infected. I am so sad and devastated. I am wondering how it got infected. Could these mites be transmitted by insects such as bees or Japanese beetles? If not then the only other culprit would be deers since there are no other roses within the area for wind.
Thank you so much for the detail. Moved to a new home last summer and am starting a new garden from scratch. The first thing I did was order roses. Your video has cleared up my questions about what is going on with all of them and sadly, I'll need to take out a lot. So far all of them are my David Austins that I put in this spring. I'm contacting them after this. Fingers crossed. Tomorrow is my rose funeral. Bummer.
Wow, I just had about 10 which is all of my rose bushes infected with this. This has been going on for a few years but I decided to google and found this video
All the new growth on my heritage rose is dark burgundy or red if you wish. It turns green in a few days or so. The rose bush is huge and has the most beautiful fragrance of roses. I do have aphids on one tea rose. It has always gave me problems. Been the first rose I planted forty five years ago. I only has like two stalks,blooms several white roses, then that's it until cooler weather in the fall. Then it takes off an I get a few more blooms. Think I'm sticking with more heritage roses. More drought and disease resistant. I have five rose bushes, but I want to add more. Thinking about taking some cutting from my heritage rose. Isn't there an insecticide that can you can use like maybe organic that will kill the mites. Maybe Neem oil?
My David Austin rose bush just got this and none of my other roses ever had this... first time... I could just cry... I waited 3 years to get this fragrant DA rose 😭
I hate this, my precious David Austin roses I have to admit is infected. And the worst is I can replace it and it’s in such a perfect spot where I can see it
I walked out this morning and my Joseph’s Coat seems to have this! It’s red at top and excessively thorny! Luckily my Pilgrim and Eden (just planted this spring) seems ok.
I had to dispose of 3 drift roses and 1 knockout last month. My theory is that nurseries have been lax in the last year or so. I ordered all of these roses last year. It is not just knockout roses ; any rose is susceptible.
From Australia. . How devastating . I had never heard of this till a friend on FB who lives in Texas US said she was pulling out her Rose bushes because of a disease caused by mites. An avid green thumb with hundreds of different tropical plants I'm familiar with spider mites and every other type of mites. I cant believe the only solution is ripping them up and destroying them. I would be heart broken. Seems to me the answer is to get rid of the mites.
Unfortunately the mites transmit a virus that infects the whole "genetic body" of the plant (something this video did a horrible job explaining). This is why the "just snip it off" method DOESN'T work; you may just snip off that piece, but the entire "genetic body" of the plant has been infected by the Virus. Other infected areas WILL crop up around the bush EVENTUALLY. What this video ALSO did not get into is that you also can't "just leave it alone", either. Not just because it will spread it (via the mites) to other roses in the neighborhood / area, but ALSO because it DOES eventually kill your whole Rose over time. There are ways to mitigate the Mites- for instance, during the bush removal it's recommended that you first wrap the bush in a thick plastic bag to prevent the mites from "jumping ship" to another area while you're accosting the bush. Further, don't compost it, straight bin it, in order to prevent the mites from overwintering in the compost and being spread around the next season. And further- if you can afford to do it- performing proper soil sterilization of the area to kill any mites, mite eggs, etc, that may have fallen into the soil (because while no the virus doesn't stay in the soil, the mites can be in the soil for a bit); and as they DID mention, pruning your rose bushes down properly during the appropriate pruning season helps- though they FAILED to mention that you can also spray specific products on the stems to suffocate any mites that may still be attached, etc. AND they failed to mention that routine, proper deadheading is an integral maintenance form, since the mites specifically enter and transmit the virus through the flowers. You can still do all this and get Rose Rosette, however, because once you have the mites there's no getting rid of them- and you never know if you DO have them anyways until you already see the signs of the virus in the plant ... And if you do, the only thing you CAN do about it, is pull that poor thing out ASAP.
As my professors and extension managers (all multi-decade professionals across multiple horticultural fields, who I adore deeply) like to say: "A lot of people claim to cure Rose Rosette. Show me a person who claims to have successfully cured Rose Rosette, and I'll show you a liar ... But you should have them call the lab anyways, because we have whole teams of scientists around the globe who've been working for decades on this issue and they'd be lauded as heroes if they were somehow the lucky smuck that actually managed to crack it". They also drive home repeatedly to stop planting Knockout brand Roses because they're some of the most highly susceptible to Rose Rosette in the first place 🤣
I have a very large New Dawn rose bush where one side definitely has the disease, but the other side doesn not and is blooming beautifully. Can I just cut out part of the rose bush and savet the other side that is not infected or do I need to remove it entirely?
You most likely have to remove the plant entirely. You could try cutting that part of the rose bush and see but there is a high chance that sooner or later the other part will start showing symptoms.
As she makes clear in the video, experts recommend removing the entire plant, making sure you get all of the roots and bagging the plant and disposing of it in the garbage.

I have the same problem on my roses and was wondering what is going on. Thank you for the information!
Glad it was helpful Sadly I had to pull out another rose last month for the same thing.

Oh no, that's so sad. Especially with DAs. I wish there was a solution for this.

Must have been heart breaking. Thank you for helping others with this thorough video.
I had to remove two of them I am heartbroken and worried about my 18 other bushes! I am so so sad
My David Austin rose bush just got this and none of my other roses ever had this... first time... I could just cry... I waited 3 years to get this fragrant DA rose 😭
That's so sad.
I hate this, my precious David Austin roses I have to admit is infected. And the worst is I can replace it and it’s in such a perfect spot where I can see it
It’s horrible and so ugly
I had to pull out all my roses from this disease so should you wait a few years before planting in that soil ?
I walked out this morning and my Joseph’s Coat seems to have this! It’s red at top and excessively thorny! Luckily my Pilgrim and Eden (just planted this spring) seems ok.
Very helpful video. Thank you, Vidya
Thank you Sindhu!

Yes sadly any rose is susceptible. I lost 5 more this winter. I have given up on roses in our area.
This helped thanks!
Thank you, best description. I thought my new growth was rose rosetta
Glad it was useful.
It's made me pretty paranoid! I was ready to dig up any rose with red new growth for a while.
Doesn't bleach damaged your tools? Other people say to wash ur tools with alcohol
From Australia. .
How devastating .

It is really sad. I'm hoping the rest of them don't get it. Gardening without roses is so boring.

@@hrusewif Wow, thats quite a reply, thank you Anna.
What color is the mite?
Will a product that kills mites....a miticide....help?
Sadly nothing helps 😔

This is why I don’t like to grow roses at all. They are always prune to diseases.
Can you just cut out the stem that has the disease?
Sadly that doesn’t work. By the time we see it on the stem the virus has spread to the roots
Why no poison for this horrific, devastating problem that has decimated my yard!
So sorry to hear about your roses.
