Is Don Juan disease resistant? I live in Victoria BC and have trouble with blackspot and mildew. I am looking for a med. red climber for a pillar in the front yard but I don't spray. The front yard is south facing.

here in austria it is a very common, often planted climber, although not performing well if planted in hot and dry sites. the flowers will then burn easily and mildew is a big problem.

People love this rose for its velvety blooms, which most noses find to be exceptionally fragrant and excellently scented. As a plant, it's kind of ho hum. It has middling overall disease resistance, with some tendency to rust. Moderately vigorous, reasonably robust. People forgive it because they love those flowers, but there are much more disease resistant roses out there, if you really need that.
I'd also add that this is a rose best grown by doors, or commonly used walkways (but not sidewalks, where the flowers will be stolen). It's not the most floriferous of plants, so from a distance it's not all that special, it's just wonderful up close. You'll probably be pleased with this rose to the extent that you can exploit that, whether in your garden, or in a vase on your table.

Is Don Juan susceptible to blackspot or mildew? I would like a red climber for my front yard, southfacing. I live in Victoria BC zone 7-8.

I am considering growing this rose in my front yard. It is south facing. Does this rose get blackspot or mildew? I have problems with both of those and I don't like to spray. I am in Victoria BC (zone 7-8)
