Very interesting. The advertising blurb on the Edmund's site about this rose states "superb black spot resistance", yet below under "Product Details" "Disease Resistant" says, "no". The description also states, " Like the once-blooming species from which it obtained the lovely blotch, this bushy, upright shrub filled with abundant, grey-green leaves loves to grow and may require some pruning in order to keep it tamed, though superb blackspot resistance will keep it looking healthy.", Hulthemia, the once flowering species from which it obtained the petal "blotch", does NOT like to grow and is considered quite difficult to grow in anything other than the desert environment to which it is indigenous. Early hybrids of it have historically been called "martyrs to mildew". Somewhere, someone didn't read enough, or do sufficient research, or are awkwardly using their "poetic license". It will be interesting watching how this one performs and how healthy it remains.

can't get my hands on it here yet. Still, I have been growing a few hulthemias and find that they truly do have remarkable resistance to blackspot. Absolutely nothing on Eyes for You or Alissar, PoP. Not only that, they are still green and leafy (although all that may change this week now we are having a Siberian winter after all). Eyes for You has had no dieback (and is still showing a couple of buds!). My only reservation is the truly horrible name which will, I feel, have repercussions on sales no matter how heavily it is marketed (a lot in the UK).

I grow Euphoria, and that one as well does not seem to suffer from any foliage issues, although conditions here usually are wet and cool.

Mine just turned out to be a a somewhat tall floribunda, with no disease issues, and a dislike for hot weather. It was/has been a seemingly fine border rose.

I kept this topic in mind. Ours is planted behind a huge butterfly bush -- low air circulation. FULLY foliated with no disease spots. It is oddly healthy here.

It had issues releasing pollen, but I used the glass warming trick. I finally got enough to use on Louise Hay. The hips seemed to form okay, so we tried Rugosa #4 x Rugosa #4 on it, which is like triploid or tetraploid, and it also set.

So its fertile... just kind of weird to work with, but definitely healthy here in the PNW.
