Like I said I'm not up and roses, and it shows...
I meant to say wild multiflora, not wild floribunda!

It does in fact look like RRD!

My understanding was that the local university here had been attempting to improve the virus, calling it lab created is probably wrong, but this person told me that they had been attempting to improve the virus to be more easily transmitted and more detrimental to infected plants.

He indicated that in addition to spraying test plots(which are in open fields all around the area, and could have easily spread from there), that there was also some roadside spraying done aswell...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
