September 13, 2024—Olean—The City of Olean will remove a number of rose bushes along the North Union Street median and in some of the side gardens over the next couple of weeks.  Samples tested positive for Rose Rosette Disease through a series of tests run by the Plant Disease and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory at Oklahoma State University.  There is no treatment for the diseased roses and the recommendation is to remove them and those immediately adjacent to stop the spread of the disease.
