I have this gorgeous rose in a standard form. In the three years I have experience with it, it has never had any fungal disease or insec...Read Moret infestation. That's totally strange considering I have a sprinkler system and the area I live in has almost daily morning fog and heavy dew. Outdoor relative humidity in my area during the growing season averages around 55% to 60%.
The only real negative is that it only puts on a singular spectacular show in late spring/early summer lasting about 4 weeks, but doesn't repeat blooming during the growing season. It's planted right next to some junipers. The non-repeat blooming could be caused by the junipers sucking both water and nutrients from the soil around this rose tree.

Eyecatching apricot color and wonderful large buds and blooms. Color holds best in our climate when this plant gets filtered afternoon shade.

Grows well here. Not prone to chlorosis. I like the fruity fragrance.
This is a lovely rose but it didn't do well in my zone5 garden. It winter-killed even with protection.
