Is yours own root or grafted? I'm considering this for my hot and humid zone 7b. It would be grown in a large container.

Mine is 12th-year own root, it's 2.5' x 2.5' Abraham Darby is more compact than Evelyn for the pot. Evelyn is a water hog, Abraham Darby prefers fast drainage.

I consider 'Evelyn' a desert rose. IDK how it would handle disease pressure in a humid environment. However, so long as the soil doesn't dry, it might not need supplemental watering. I think it a superb rose and one of DAs best. AD has weak necks, but, in a more humid environment, that might not occur.
