Well, here's a picture of what I found... this is P. mixta btw (it wasn't impressive in this climate anyway, never bloomed), it was looking wilted this afternoon, and sure enough it had it. Lady M.'s base looked the same way, but I was able to cut off the diseased main stem and hopefully that healthy shoot that wasn't affected will take over.

I think it's definitely a wilt/fungus of some kind. The roots are fine, as is the vine above the diseased area, but at soil level and up to an inch of the stem above soil lever are brown and dead. There's no mush, ooze, or odor though, which looks to me like the other few plants I have lost over the years to wilt. Fusarium wilt maybe?

I mixed up some fungicide called triple action 20 that I got earlier this year, which according to the list on it kills every fungus/wilt/rot known to the human race. I used it as a soil drench on every vine nearby in the hopes of it not spreading to any others.

If anyone has other ideas on what it could be, please do let me know.
