About me: I garden in the far northeast corner of Spain in a green, mountainous area. Winters are cold and summers can be scorchingly hot, either dry or humid depending on whether the summer rainfall comes.. or not! Growing roses can be a challenge here because they have to be winter hardy (I have lost some tea and china roses) and both heat and rain resistant to withstand summer heat.
