I’ve only had this rose one full season but so far, it has been great: very floriferous and no evidence of disease to date. Gorgeous, unusual color combination and one of the few roses that stood up to this summer’s record heat in my area.
I loved Smoke Rings, but like most roses bred out of Santa Claus, it had downy issues. I eventually shoveled it. Hopefully that was bred out. I know CdM does not get downy here.
