I live in south Florida, and even though I love my roses, I do not have the time or energy to baby them excessively, so there are definitely casualties in this hot, humid, and pest-infested environment. This rose, however, needs hardly any attention. It blooms in flushes for me, but the color and form of the blossoms is always amazing, and the scent is always strong. Despite not being sprayed for pests or diseases, its foliage always looks beautiful and healthy. Blackspot is always a problem in my garden, but this rose is largely unaffected. If I had known how well B.R. Cant would perform in my garden, I would've bought more than one bush!
I love this rose so much. I would rank it in the top three for hardiness and performance. (Belinda's Dream would be probably be #1, and Heritage would be #3.) If you live in a climate like mine, I would definitely recommend this rose (as well as the others I mentioned). Duchesse de Brabant also does not disappoint.

It's great in a hot dry climate as well.

It seems like it can handle quite a variety of environmental challenges. :) Pretty amazing! Do you have any other roses in your garden that exhibit the same (or similar) qualities to Mrs. B.R. Cant?

Having read your post, I am going to order 2 to replace another rose (Mrs Reynolds Hole) whose foliage got badly burnt here in Sydney. It is humid here too, and I have found Ms Tillier, Marie Van Houtte, Octavus Weld, Anna Olivier, Mrs Dudley Cross, Crepescule, Mutabilis and the hybrid musks stand up well. Duchesse De Brabant does well here too.

Had a really great experience ordering from Mark of Excellence Roses. The bands arrived in excellent condition and both were very healthy specimens. Within a couple of days, both had new growth and were putting out leaves everywhere. They're doing much better than the bands I ordered from Rogue Valley Roses.
