Disease Resistance: Blackspot is only a problem here on stressed plants. Powdery mildew is the main problem and I try to spray the roses that get pm with fungicide every 2 weeks or so when we have cool, dry nights. CD will get pm if not sprayed here. Not a pm magnet but it will show up and can get bad if I let it go long enough.
Hardiness: Needs protection - performs much better after a mild winter
Blooms
Fragrance: Slight to mild
Flushes: Decent - 15 to 25
Repeat: Slow - 6 to 7 weeks
