    Hi, I have a small standard rose, I’ve had it for many years and it has always been beautiful.
    This year I have treated it exactly the same, pruned, fed and watered and it looks like this - it just has not developed any leaves at all.
    Does it have a problem that could spread to my other roses?

    thank you all so much

        Good afternoon @CrystalT my friend I to would have respectfully suggested some kind of herbicide damage I have only seen something like this many years since it was Rose rosette virus but as their has never been a single case of this never recorded in the UK so that's not possible thank goodness but I am making continuing enquirys for you:smile:

          That is what has happened to my "Chandos Beauty". Again no weedkiller near it.

            Thank you, I have no idea what it could be though. All other plants are fine in that area, it’s also in the back garden, so no neighbors could have damaged it

            thanks for replying

            Unfortunately not. I moved it to another part of the garden but that made no difference. I have since put it in a pot but it is still the same. I'll leave it there until next year and if it doesn't come away it goes out with the rubbish.

              Oh that’s such a shame, sounds like it hasn’t affected anything else though , which has got to be good.

              I will just continue to feed mine when I do the other roses and see what it’s like next year I guess.
              THanks

              I think if it is a virus it might be worth considering getting rid of it ASAP especially if you have other roses, viruses spread on tools and equipment and even by sap sucking insects.

                Good afternoon @CrystalT my friend just received a reply from Mike a top man in the Rose world in the USA where the RRD is quite prevelent in places :smile:

                Yes, either herbicide damage, or even an even worse possibility is Rose Rosette Disease - although the curled and twisted outgrowth is yellow instead of red, so its not be RRD.

                  Thank you for investigating for me, that’s really kind of you.

                  should I get rid or wait and see what happens next year, as you really are a wise owl
                  Thanks

                    Good afternoon @CrystalT my friend personally just to be on the safe side I would respectfully suggest that you dispose of it, if you can burn it or cut it up and put it in a secure bag,thats all of the rose including the roots and anything that falls to the ground ,please don't put it on a compost heap because if it is a virus it will spread;):smile:

                    ps,Once you have done this make sure you wash your hands thoroughly and any garden implements you might have used:smile:

                    I shall keep looking for the answer;)

                      I will take your advice and destroy the rose
                      It has been such a lovely rose for many years.
                      Really appreciate your help

                      thank you

                        If it is herbicide damage how is that likely to have come about? The only herbicides I use are ready made up, proprietor sprays and when I spray one rose, I spray them all. Everything else is fine.
