- Abstract
Moss rose is a common succulent, ornamental plant mainly used in hot dry areas, rock gardens, over walls or along paved surfaces. Moss rose is generally easy to grow and easily propagated through cuttings or seed. It is not commonly prone to major diseases hut has been found to be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils and to white rust. Portulaca grandiflora has also been found infected with Tomato spotted wilt virus in Pennsylvania. Potexviruses are only spread through contact, or in propagation material and are not transmitted through seeds, so this virus would not seem to pose a major threat provided common prophylactic measures are taken.
