Rose Rosetta Disease
RRD is a fungus transmitted by tiny insect called a mite. This disease is also called witches broom. Small roses are killed the first year and larger plants may take several years. As soon as RRD is identified remove and destroy the plants to keep from spreading to health bushes. There is no control for the disease but you can control the mites that spread this pest. A local organic publisher says he can save the infected roses but if they are close to neighbor's roses maybe they should be removed anyway.
