I've had a couple of plants of this rose at this juncture, and I have yet to get one to grow well. They have all just struggled along. Has anyone else had this experience? The only other rose I've struggled to grow this much is Signature.

I purchased my Peach Swirl own root from Heirloom and it has been extremely vigorous, healthy and floriferous in a short time. Plus it's in a container, and not a very large one, at that. If this variety is having RMV issues with grafted stock, then the own root version might be the way to go. Good luck, I hope you get a healthy robust version of Peach Swirl, it's a great rose!

Does anyone have a Peach Swirl that doesn’t have Mosaic virus? Will the RMV eventually kill my rose? This is one of the most vigorous growers in my garden, and seems to have good black spot resistance (a very good thing here on the east coast!). This rose, even with RMV, wasn’t badly affected by black spot and didn’t seem to mind the few spots it did get. It put out several flushes of flowers, and was one of the most floriferous roses in my garden. It powered through the spotted lanterfly infestation in my county (the nymphs love tender new growth, and Peach Swirl is very vigorous), seemed untroubled by my compacted, heavy clay soil, and seemed absolutely fine with the extra waterings it got (from an overhead sprinkler!) because it’s next to the vegetable garden. Heat and humidity didn’t seem to bother it; it just kept putting out beautiful healthy, fast-growing basals — with mottled RMV leaves. Rain doesn’t ruin the flowers, the Japanese beetles were all too busy enjoying my “Strike it Rich” to bother Peach Swirl. It seems ok with cold, too. It was one of my last roses to flower last fall, and the leaves are still looking pretty good now (we’ve had rain, snow and sleet several days in the past few weeks).

If this rose dies from RMV, I’ll definitely want another one to replace it with. It really brightens up the area. The flowers are fragrant in my garden, and so beautiful. The fall flush, especially, was amazing. I didn’t know what RMV was when I brought this rose home, but I’m definitely happy to give it garden space because it really is a fantastic rose.

Don't worry about RMV killing your rose--it's not lethal, and often has only a mild impact on the rose's performance, but it is too bad that the rose hasn't been propagated in a more conscientious way. In this day and age, there is no excuse for new introductions to be infected with RMV.

Your comments regarding rose mosaic virus are right on. I acquired a plant of Peach Swirl 2 months ago. It has fully leafed out and ready to bloom. So far there is no evidence of RMV. The disease is most likely to manifest in the first growth flush. However RMV is a quirky disease so I will closely watch the plant moving forward. According to Malcolm Manners, noted expert on RMV, about 20% of the roses available to the public in the US are infected with RMV. I can understand the situation when an older rose, prior to 1990, is infected. It is a sad situation when a recently introduced cultivar is virused. If Peach Swirl turns out to be a really good rose and there is no virus free stock available, it should be considered for viral elimination by heat treatment.
