It's such a short thickly-foliaged plant. I've noticed that if the weather
is wet and cool, it will have a tendency to develop blackspot at the bottom
of the plant where the leaves are so crowded and nearly touching the
ground. I was wondering if anyone who grows this rose thins out the leaves
to get better airflow and if this is a good idea to try to control this
particular problem?
