From the article linked to below: “To our knowledge, this is the first report of RYVV in Turkey. With
previous reports only from New Zealand and the USA this finding of
RYVV also represents the first report in both Europe and Asia, suggesting
the virus may be more widely distributed than previously reported.”

Thank you Henry!!
That is interesting RYVV has been found in damask roses in Turkey. We first found it in a plant of ‘Dr. Merkeley’ in MN growing for decades in someone’s landscape. There are a more than the viruses under the Rose Mosaic Virus umbrella out there. Part of how we found this and some other viruses is that their symptoms do not disappear on the new growth to the same extent during the heat of summer, like the RMV umbrealla of viruses tend to do.
