I planted this rose bush in the spring. Lots of new growth and beautiful blooms. Took a closer look at it the other day and discovered Aphids and this cane. Not sure if this is normal new growth, damage from Aphids, or Rose Rosette disease. The new cane growing has a lot of thorns and new growth looks like witches broom. Although pics I've seen of Rosette disease the canes are red... Could it just be damage from the Aphids? I have never dealt with Aphids til this year. Yuck! Wondering if they are causing the curling new growth. Or is this just normal new growth?
