For sure, I didn't think it's even possible to grow and enjoy them without using fungicide or insecticide. I was told by many experienced rose gardeners in Houston back in 2020 that it would not be possible. Even chili thrips are the worst pests in our climate, I have them too each year, but I get them under control with the use of beneficial insects and focus on feeding healthy soil to help roses thrive and fight off diseases and pests. Fast forward now, these roses have survived both diseases and pests, but some did die due to our summer heat and drought.
Not quite sure, I typically buy most of my roses online (95%). This year I bought more local to see how they do. So far, I don't think I have a favorite yet.
Multiple ways, you can remove and do nothing or remove and spray the healthy foliages to prevent blackspots. Look up fungicide spray for roses in case you want to treat it, but be careful not to spray when it's hot. I don't spray, so I remove infected leaves when I see them. They will always get blackspots, at least in my climate, I just live with it.
Very encouraging to see such beautiful healthy roses in our climate.

Beautiful distant drums. Mine are still so small, even in year 2
May yours flourish soon so you can enjoy your DistantDrums. Is your ownroot? If it's ownroot, it can take longer.
33:40 looks like my White Licorice.
That one is pretty too.
Beautiful rose garden❤❤, how old is your Spirit of Freedom?
Thank you. It will be 3 years old next month.
What was the white one about 14:45?
That white one is Bolero.
