How is this rose for winter hardiness a disease resistance. Rumor mill has it that it is quite winter tender and a blackspot magnet. Is this true for anyone here??

OUR AREA HERE IN OREGON GETS ONLY TO ABOUT 20 DEGREES AT THE COLDEST SO WE ACTUALLY PULL THE LEAVES OFF IN THE MID-WINTER, JUST TO MAKE SURE THE ROSE GETS SOME REST. (MY GRANDMA TAUGHT ME THIS, I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE DOES THIS, BUT SOMETIMES THE ROSES KEEP GROWING ALL YEAR AND DONT GO INTO DORMANCY IN PORTLAND WITHOUT THIS) SO I THINK IT IS PRETTY HARDY, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE BIT OF DISEASE ON MY ROSES, NO MILDEW, NO RUST, NO BLACKSPOT. IF YOU READ MY POST ABOVE YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE ACTUALLY GROWING UNDER A TREE AND STILL DO THIS WELL SO I WOULD SAY THEY ARE GREAT AS FAR AS DISEASE RESISTANCE. |

To Mattpdx: Just got my first NZ - thanks to your postings really. I was especially taken by the fact that some of your NZs were under a tree and still did well. I have a similar situation, where my small garden gets only 4 hours of sun per day. All my roses do well, but advice like yours is invaluable for me, when choosing a rose for my conditions here. Thank you!

Use the ROSE SEARCH button on the navigation bar to the left and enter the rose name in the search window. Click on the link for 'New Zealand' and when the rose page comes up, click on the BUY FROM tab and scroll down. We have a long list of nurseries that have indicated that they carry this rose in their inventory.
Smiles,
Lyn
