Crown Gall

This is a good picture and I thought you all might be interested. Thanks to Janey for sending it.

Dear Rosarians, Attached is a pic of what I didn't want to see on one of
my favorites (Gloire de Dijon) when I was just out scraping around ready
to fertilize. It's an own root rose but the bark near the soil is pretty
cracked. Read the section on Galls in Joe Truskot's Central Coast Rose
Manual, which gives step by step instructions on what to do once
discovered. Never suffered this affliction before so I just wanted to
confirm my finding. Thanks all! Cathy
