    This is one of the least finicky roses I've ever grown. It's in a hot and dry section of my garden that rarely gets watered. In spite of that, it's about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide and it blooms constantly, even during the long hot summers, when we have no rainfall at all between April and November.
