reh0622 said:It's not RRD if it doesn't have super outrageous thorns all over according to a highly respected master gardener who was trained to identify it. If it's spring dwarf disease, all you have to do is to trim that part off.

He/she is wrong.

What does an infected plant look like?

There are several symptoms that a rose infected with RRD may exhibit:

Bright red new growth that never turns green
Very thick stems with excessive thorniness
Flower buds emerge in tiny, tight clusters
(these are the "rosettes" that gave the disease its name; they are also called "witches brooms.")
Flowers that open are deformed and stunted looking
Foliage is contorted and stunted looking; may also be yellow

A rose that is infected with the disease -- may have only one of these symptoms, -- or it may have any or all of them. The symptoms may be confined to just a few shoots or part of the plant, especially at first. Symptoms may appear any time that the rose is in active growth, but are most likely to be seen in the early to middle part of rose season.
