Rose rosette disease (RRD) is a common disease of roses, predominantly in North America. RRD is caused by the rose rosette virus (RRV), an emaravirus transmitted by the eriophyid mite Phyllocoptes fructiphilus Keifer. RRD characteristic symptoms include deformed leaves, abnormal thorns, and witches’ brooms. Roses are important cultivated plants around the world. Most Rosa spp. and cultivated varieties such as climbers, hybrid teas, floribundas, and miniature roses are susceptible to the disease. Rose rosette virus detection relies on molecular assays. |
