Ever since I saw 'Colette' in California, I wanted that rose. I found it on ebay, and like a fool, bought it. It came today, $4.11 postage due,

my first red flag. (It was supposed to be "free shipping" on a $32 rose. I figured it would not be grade 1 since the eBay description gave no details of what would be sent. I was afraid it would be a barely rooted cutting, so I was pleased to see 2 nice canes and short but decent roots. But...this looks like a gall. It's woody, not soft, about the size of a golf ball cut in half. The rest of the rose looks healthy.
What do I do? Can I cut the gall off? Do I pot this, or plant in the ground away from other roses? ok, I just found a fungicide online, Actinavate, that may help, if I can find it.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
