First detection of Raspberry ringspot virus in roses


Title: “First detection of Raspberry ringspot virus in mosaic diseased hybrid roses in Germany”

Although the title states “in Germany” the full paper suggests (to me) that no previous reports anywhere are known. I attempted a Google Scholar search and did not find any other reports.

Apparently this virus is commonly spread by nematodes, but it may be spread by seeds so we should probably be careful about European rose imports (it does not appear to be established in the U.S.).
