Fort Myers, Florida, zone 10a: i have this rose for more then 1 year... i never seen any black spots on him! it is an amasing rose... blooming all the time, very easy going and very resistant!
Thank you for supplying this information. I have put a note at the bottom of the rose page for 'Demitasse' that it can be resistant to blackspot and referred other users to your comment.
I have been growing this rose in Tampa, Florida for eight years, both in a pot and in the ground, and it never has black spot, is always leafed out, and the scent of the many flowers carries far. It is a nice 3'x3' shape with little prunining or shaping, just dead-heading and removing thin and dead canes occasionally. An excellent rose for a low maintenance Southern garden.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature class which was originated by me by crossing La Marne (unpatented) with an unnamed seedling whose parents were China Doll.times.MORchari U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,975).
