| Good morning. I was considering Wife of Bath, for her compact size, reputation as a strong bloomer and strong fragrance. I'm in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Does anyone in this kind of region (somewhat hot and humid) know how she does? Thanks! |

| Since no one has answered I will, although our climate is very different. She was a delicate little rose for me, although I don't remember any disease, which is not to say your humidity may not cause some. One of the very early Austins and worth preserving if it prospers in your conditions. |

| In the book, 'For the love of roses in Florida and elsewhere' they recommend 'Wife of Bath.' If it can handle Fl humidity it should be just fine in NC. |

| Excellent little rose here. Always, always blooming or trying to. |
