Been there, done that. The good Doctor is no longer with us. In fact, he was
the first rose I shovel pruned.
He did have pretty blooms for a few weeks, then defoliated from blackspot.
Also the first rose in my garden to ever suffer from powdery mildew. I never
felt a bit of guilt about putting his reamins in the garbage can.
