Alana, if you don't mind, can you please tell me (via PM if you like) where you got this plant from? Whomever sold this plant sold one badly infected with rose mosaic virus.Is it own-root or grafted?

Simon, thanks for your email. I can't remember which supplier as I bought quite a few new ones this season from several new suppliers. I was very surprised that I was able to get a plant as it is so new. It appears to be root stock but I'm not sure.

Are you aware of anything I can do to clear the virus?

Cheers Alana

Unfortunately, once it's got it, it will have it for good. They are having success treating it with higher temperatures for extended periods of time and then removing budwood from the treated parts. You need specific facilities to do this.
