Rose, Floribunda, Julia Child

I have owned this rose bush in two different locations in zone 5/6, and they have performed extremely well in both locations. Unclear what the other reviewer experienced, but it is important to understand that roses can only be more resistant to fungal infection. One of the places I lived usually has significant fungal issues affecting all plants and trees, and these roses never had leaf spots, which did affect other roses (e.g. Mister Lincoln). I do have them located in full sun and do fertilize them with BioAdvanced 3-in-1 Rose and Flower Care. They are not located in an area that receive water from a sprinkler system, so they only receive water when it rains. During the winter, I trim down the shrub in late fall and cover the root with a mulch heap, which is removed in early spring. Really not a hard rose to maintain. Would highly recommend this rose.

I've had this rose in 7b for 10+ years so she is well established. Without fail she is covered in black spot and drops all of her leaves when the high humidity sets in. I spray, prune her properly to increase airflow and still face this issue. If you want a stick bush with yellow roses then she's your girl n
