Rose leaf rosette-associated virus is a +ssRNA [1] [2] closterovirus [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [1] which causes a unique, unusually dense and small rosette leaf habit on Rosa multiflora Thunb. [5] [8] branches. [3]
DNA analyses of rose samples have not previously found closteroviruses, [9] [10] and thus they were previously thought to be unable to infect all Rosa, [3] making RLRAV the first known. [3]
