Expert Response

Good Morning,
Unfortunately, if you suspect that your roses may be infected with rose rosette disease, the bushes should be removed and destroyed so it doesn't spread to other roses in your garden.
Please read through the attached article related to this disease to see other symptoms.

You can submit a sample for a small fee to verify the disease.
