Plant disease losses in 2023, including control costs, amounted to an estimated $715.43 million. The value of the crops used in this estimate was approximately $6863.22 million, resulting in a 10.42% relative disease loss across all crops included in this summary. Some estimates for fruits, ornamentals, and turf rely on Extension specialists’ knowledge of the industry and industry sources for information. Because of the retirement of the Extension specialist for ornamental and commercial landscapes, disease losses for this category were not included in the report.

Rose rosette virus can cause major problems for nurseries, landscapers, and gardeners alike. The virus causes the plants to become undesirable and will eventually result in the death of the plant, which affects all segments of the rose industry as well as rosarians and home gardeners. The symptoms of disease on ornamental roses are a yellow mosaic pattern appearing on leaves, increased thorniness, abnormally shaped foliage and early production of lateral buds that make up the witches’ broom. This publication is intended for rose producers and serious rose gardeners interested in technical details of this virus and a mite that transmits it.
