I think some growers should be accountable , this is only a recent cultivar. Rootstocks of these growers should be looked at their stage of production , I wish they would clean up their act.	REPLY

Dear Warren Thank you for your email. I've only been growing roses since 2006 and although I have a lot of them, I'm still learning - what is the issue with the 1 year old plant? Should they not sell them so young? I'd be grateful for any tips you can give me and advise questions that I should ask of suppliers. Kind regards, Alana	REPLY

I'm guessing Warren's concern is about the virus affecting the plant. Since Eyes for You hasn't been around long, the virus more likely comes from the understock. Growers should keep an eye on their understock plantations, to check that they aren't diseased.	REPLY

Mine is own-root directly from Steve Beck's initial stock. I have a hunch where the grafted ones are from... and it doesn't surprise me in the least that it is infected with RMV.	REPLY
