Should do fine. Does well in coastal SoCal, which is a bit like foggy SF.

One of the better Austins generally, and easily the best in that color class.

Thanks Kathy. I've just ordered it and it should arrive by the 24th. I've been told by Regan's Rosarian (that lives about 45 miles away, as the crow flies) that this is a fine time in our area to plant new bushes.

I'm jazzed!

Thanks again,
