Introduction


By Jacob Scharfetter


Rose rosette virus (RRV), also known as Rose rosette disease (RRD), is a viral plant pathogen. The symptoms of Rose Rosette Virus (RRV) was first recognized and recorded in Canada 77 years and has since become one of the most destructive diseases of commercial roses[1][2]. The plant pathogen RRV has only been found to affect the genus Rosa[3]. Most Rosa spp. are susceptible to RRV, making RRV a significant problem for landscapers and horticulturalists[4]. However, non-commercial, wild rose species of the Rosa genus, such as the meadow rose (R. blanda), swamp rose (R. palustris), Carolina rose (R. Carolina), prickly wild rose (R. acicularis), and burnet rose (R. spinosissima), show only minimal signs of susceptibility to RRV[4]. Currently, RRV is primarily distributed throughout the eastern United States ranging from the Eastern coasts of New England to the base of the Rocky Mountains<ref>Windham, M., Windham, A., Hale, F., & Amrine Jr, J. (2014). Observations on Rose rosette disease.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name. In short, RRV is a destructive and highly lethal rose pathogen that expresses a significant threat to the commercial rose industry. This report seeks to highlight what we currently know about RRV and to highlight the areas where future research needs to be conducted.
