    @Moses, Pitt PA, cold W & hot-humid S, z6 Thank you! Yes I have been trying the True Bloom series as I can.. So far True Endearment, True Inspiration, True Joy, True Perfume, True Sincerity, True Gratitude, True Spirit... Some of these I got bare root from Walmart/Lowe's and they ended up being mislabeled. Some were true to variety. I think True Perfume blackspotted badly. True Endearment is amazing. True Sincerity blackspotted. True Inspiration was very clean, gets tall. True Joy was sickly when I got it, maybe had gall on the roots that was cut off? It was a bagged rose and the roots looked very suspect, so I have kept it in a pot. True Spirit may have been mislabeled. I'm usually better at keeping notes on these things, but seem to have become scattered at some point. All in all I have been please with Ping Lim's roses in the garden no-spray.


    @forever_a_newbie_VA8 thanks for sharing your list! I want to give Easy Does It a try. I have Pomponella and she gets black spot/cercospora. She doesnt defoliate enough for me to dig her up, but she is not as healthy as I would like this year. I'm hoping this improves as she becomes better established. Desdemona is a mess here, and Beverly has not grown into a strong plant yet for me or for my sister who gardens an hour south of me. Beverly is popular in Alabama and Louisiana, so hopefully she will improve here. Raspberry Cupcake and Brindabella Purple Prince are the most carefree roses I have ever encountered. And they are fragrant! Love!

    Sunny, I see we have a lot of overlaps in our list. Generally Kordes roses are the most reliable regarding BS resistance in our area. Yeah do give Easy Does It a try, it is a great rose

    I agree, Easy Does it is a winner. Hearty and the color is amazing
