I'm 58 and grow moderns...mainly floribundas...because they do well here and my garden is very small. The summer humidity dictates what will do well and what won't for me. I've tried more DA's than I care to think about and was disappointed with all of them except Pat Austin.
Can't we just safely say that we grow the roses that do best given our locales ? We all have varying circumstances and weather conditions which are going to limit what roses will perform for us, right ? Throw in other obstacles like DEER and insects issues and that's a whole other story.
Not sure if being a "hipster"is a subculture or not...maybe it is...and if so,that's fine I guess. LOL
I'm in So. Calif. and lord knows we have enough "sub-cultures" here to satisfy anyone's interests...so consequently I refuse to categorize myself. I've never been the least bit "trendy" and never will be. I don't own an ipod, don't "do" Starbucks or shopping malls, and....wait for it.....I don't TEXT. Yes,I'm as L7 as they come. LOL
