Great Lecture, thank you for putting this on RUclips. I am a cut flower grower and believe I am seeing mosaic virus in some of my peony plants. Do the modes of transmission hold true for this as well? I *think* it is tobacco mosaic virus. I would love to find out more about your heat treatment therapy you use for roses
I'm sorry I don't know peony viruses. But different plant viruses may be transmitted very differently -- by insects, or mites, or even by rough handling. So I don't know.
I suppose that might help, but even then, evaporation from the surface will give some cooling. And while I've not tried it, I have to wonder if that bit of extra stress might end up killing too many of the plants; they are already severely stressed in the process.
Assuming it is the same virus disease we have here, then it should not be contagious, so I'd only recommend removing the plants if they are not performing for you as expected, or if you can get disease-free replacements, which may perform better.
Hello! Please do a couple of more videos on roses care.
Thank you

Why not water the plants with 100 degree F water?

Thank you so much for this information I believe I have 2 infected roses I'm in Clarendon South Australia 5157, should I get rid of them
