I am considering bidding on Out of the Night at an upcoming auction. I live one block from the ocean in the San Diego area. Do you think this rose will ball up in my environment??
Merci bien

If your environment is VERY wet due to heavy fogs and/or dews, I think you will find its flowers unforgiving. Otherwise, it should probably do well for you.

Yes, it can get very foggy, dew-y and damp here at times....I think I better look at the parentage, sometimes this clues me in.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with kindness.

I noticed recently that you had posted a photo of "Art Nouveau". I am considering bidding on this rose at auction. Could you please share with me its frequency of bloom? Merci bien

Hi, it's a fully modern floribunda which flowers as constantly as any other floribunda should be expected to where you grow them. I have found it to be completely disease resistant in both the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles and here in Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria, nine miles from the Pacific Ocean. Of course, how it may perform where you are is unknown, but it has been extremely healthy, usually in flower and very fertile for me in those two climates. (10a and 9a, California). Good luck! I think you may find it a fun, interesting and pretty rose!

Most helpful...thank you Kim! I live one block from the ocean in Del Mar, (just north of San Diego) thereby incurring coastal dampness.
Do you think this darling little rose will enjoy the beach???

You're welcome! Actual salt from the ocean, probably not, but if other roses grow well in your conditions, this should have as good a chance as any.
