Hot and dry Southwest
Sizzling hot summers cause some roses to stop flowering. But this one can take the heat and keep performing. In fact, it does well almost anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.

Cool and rainy Northwest
Rain and fog make this moisture-prone area a haven for fungal disease. So good disease-resistance is a must for any rose growing here. This rose also does well in the Southwest.
