=======================================================

In a 2015 research paper, He et al. applied deep sequencing to determine that a rose multiflora sample was infected by Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) of the genus Capillovirus, family Betaflexiviridae.

In a later paper He et al. reported that this virus has also been found in 3 of 4 R. chinensis roses that did not exhibit any obvious symptoms of a virus infection.

The following link is to a recent (2013) review of this virus:

It is possible that this virus is transferred by fungi.
