STOP THE ROSE ROT! The array of plant diseases that have arrived in the UK in the last few years is extremely worrying. Just when we are beginning to get used to the idea of ash trees dying in their thousands, oaks being affected by oak dieback in addition to acute oak decline and the oak processionary moth, chestnut blight, the Xylella fastidiosa bacterium, which can affect many plants including olives, lavender, oaks and cherries, box tree moth and even fuchsia gall mite, here comes another threat. Recently introduced new legislation hopes to stop the arrival of the Rose Rosette Virus (RRV). Spread by a tiny mite, the virus causes a distorted leaf growth arrangement known as “witches’ broom”, and, as the name suggests, it affects roses. As the disease is currently rampaging through the USA and Canada, no known tolerant or resistant species of rose have yet been identifi ed. New restrictions mean that living rose plants and cut fl owers imported into the UK will need offi cial paperwork to confi rm that they have been grown in areas free from the virus.
