Abstract
During 2004-2007 six previously undescribed or uncharacterized viruses were identified in cultivated roses in the USA in the states of Minnesota, New York, Michigan and Oregon.
These viruses have been assigned provisional names because their respective roles in the etiology of the diseases with which they are associated is undetermined and still under investigation.
These six viruses are Rose yellow mosaic virus, Rose transient mosaic virus, Rosa rugosa leaf distortion virus, Rose yellow leaf virus, Rose necrotic mosaic virus and Rose chlorotic ringspot virus.
These six viruses were first detected by transmission electron microscopy using partially-purified extracts of symptomatic rose leaf tissue.
Subsequent testing based on virion properties and nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence analysis of viral genomic sequences led to the conclusion that none of these six viruses had been reported or described previously.
