A request/challenge to try different rootstocks

henry_kuskaUpdated I would suggest trying root stocks that are rose rosette virus resistant. For some other plants this has worked in increasing the resistance of the whole plant.

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated They must have corrected it. They now have Moonstone listed as a HT and Devoniensis as an OGR. One of the Fairy Tale roses might work for you.

Poorbutroserich Susan NashvilleUpdated Clotilde Soupert!!! I second Christopher's suggestion of chinas. Also teas, noisettes, hybrid musks. The older roses are far easier to care for and most bloom much more often. Most are more disease resistant as well. Susan

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated The bloom quality will improve as she gets older. That said it is a semi double and just like singles each bloom is rather short lived. It does getter than a day. I would not put her in less sun. Most likely she will stop blooming...
