My current specimen of 'Tiffany' is about 22 years old now, and it does quite well here in 8b Oregon. It does NOT get regular supplemental watering during our dry summers, and is growing in dappled shade/ maybe 4 hours direct sun total. Most years it gets very little (if any) Blackspot, which is noteworthy, given its pedigree and age. I prune it back a bit every few years, but otherwise is ignored and allowed to do as it pleases. I get about 4 flushes of bloom from it every year (Starting in late May and ending in October) and it is surprisingly generous with volume of bloom, in spite of how little water it gets. With better care, I am certain it would at least double its output.

I believe that the only way to get a really worthy specimen in Florida is to grow it budded to Fortuniana, so I think you have an excellent opportunity there; go for it. When its happy and well loved, it is one of the best HT's ever bred. In Florida, I would expect to have to spray it to prevent disease.

Mine is Dr. Huey and new...but she is quite upright and plenty of blooms even the 5 gallon nursery pot...but again cool weather even on the driveway concrete.

{Paul...could you please update in HMF the roses you bred as to how they do in PNW...I thought you were still back east.)

When a 68 yr old pink hybrid tea rose is still popular and so readily available, you have to take notice. She is in the pedigree of an enormous number of newer roses for good reason.
