Here's something I found interesting on HMF (help me find). I decided to look up one of the grafted roses in my garden named Stormy Weather (climber, Orard, 2010)
. I came across the following statement under the "members comments" section:
"in greenhouse tests conducted amongst 20 rose genotypes, Stormy Weather appeared resistant (no disease symptoms, no virus replication) to the Rose Rosette Virus. Field trials are to follow.

You can read about it in the above garden web link.
And, I read it here too:

Of course, I began thinking about what makes this rose resistant to RRD???
I also thought about the possibility of using Stormy Weather as a rootstock???
