I also live on the Third Coast, near Galveston Bay, and plant roses I
like. Just purchased one each of Cl. Fourth of July, Double Delight and
SunSprite. I plan to raise them in pots! I am tired of moving off and
leaving beautiful roses to a strangers care! Only big problem here is
mildew. That can be fixed with air flow and sunlight most of the time.
I select for three things, Fragrance, Fragrance and good looks, to me.
;-)
Have fun.
