My 2 drift roses which have been gorgeous for many years were nearly killed by rose rosette virus in 2022. There was some regrowth from the base of each last spring. I applied imidacloprid granules. Some of the regrowth stems flowered and appeared healthy. So I have hope.
There are some robust multiflora roses growing in our partly-wild fence rows. They are unaffected so far🙄 I don't know how the midges found my cultivated ones. We're in the country and I haven't planted any new roses in years.
