How Hardy Are David Austin Roses?
I keep seeing in catalogues reassurances that David Austin roses are
tough plants and don't require pampering.
But I remain sceptical about how successful a plant bred in England
can be in, oh just for example, a city built on the edge of the
prairie in the U.S. midwest, where hot and dry days are common.
I live in Chicago. Yes, I know how to use a sprinkler, but
that's not the same as living in England's green and pleasant land.
Does anyone have any experience with these plants in these conditions?
