We evaluate the contribution to the nucleon-nucleon interaction due to correlated [pi][rho] exchange by means of dispersion-theoretic methods based on a realistic meson-exchange model for the interaction between a [pi] and a [rho] meson. This process has a substantial effect; in the pionic channel it counterbalances the suppression of the one-pion-exchange potential due to a realistic, soft [pi][ital NN] form factor.
