[Lincolnparkdc] rose rosette disease

Tue Mar 30 22:11:45 EDT 2021

This suggests that the use of leaf blowers (as in City using them in Fall leaf clean-up) may disseminate the mites that cause the disease.
F Street NE is infected also.

How about trying to contact the US Botanic Gardens?

As I understand it the only way to control it is to dig them up and dispose of the earth and plant by either burning them or bagging them and disposing without any other plant material.  
I understood that roses would not grow in the same spot for years but I am not an expert.  
I was sad not to hear from the Arboretum when I called as I can only believe at the pace this diseaase it going it’ll be down the hill pretty soon.  White House Rose garden?  
I’m going to take notes around to the infected gardens to give them a heads up as I walk the puppy.  I believe many people have NO idea.  If all of you could pass the word around as well, it might help..  Mia

Dear Neighbors, 
More neighborhood rose buses have come down with the virulent virus Rose Rosette disease.  It is highly contagious and spreading though the neighborhood since I first spotted it last year. 
I do not know if it was here before then as I was not paying attention but since walking my puppy around the hood I am stunned at how many bushes are infected.   I tried to contact the Arboretum but during the pandemic I do not think they are listening to their messages.  
I think we have to handle it on our own
Go to www.Roserosette.org
