I found 2 articles here that discussed mosaic virus but no continuity what happened next, did the vendor:seller refund their money? Did the virus spread to other collections? More questions than answers.
The thread "Question about mosaic disease, desert rose." in
Adeniums forum
And this one:
The thread "Curling, marbled leaves" in
Adeniums forum
My hope is with this thread, we the buyers, can be aware of the reality of this virus that is more harmful than a root rot and pests since it could affect our entire collection and we could lose our hard earned money plus the time we spent taking care of these beautiful desert roses.
I will not be happy if I brought a mosaic virus desert rose into my garden and have to discard all my plants and pots! Good thing there is a 1 year guarantee on my desert roses in my local big box store!
P.S. if you bought one let us not bash the vendor but maybe just for us buyers to be more careful. Buy from the ones that will refund your money in the event there are issues.
