Please Note - this list reflects our wish to build an inventory of roses that are hardy: note all the rugosas Roses benefit from a big peat moss, compost-y enriched hole, organic fertilizer, and water during times of drought.
Air circulation, 5-6 hours of full sun, and monitoring for insect or foliar disease will help with success.
There are two biologics that will help with fungal issues: Messenger and Serenade.
All roses benefit from additional mulch over the crown for winter.
