Thank you for supplying this information. I have put a note at the bottom of the rose page for 'Demitasse' that it can be resistant to blackspot and referred other users to your comment.
Smiles,

I have been growing this rose in Tampa, Florida for eight years, both in a pot and in the ground, and it never has black spot, is always leafed out, and the scent of the many flowers carries far. It is a nice 3'x3' shape with little prunining or shaping, just dead-heading and removing thin and dead canes occasionally. An excellent rose for a low maintenance Southern garden.

I purchased an in-pot plant of Memorial Day this May '04. We have had deluges of rain this July.
My Memoral Day has put on 5 or 6 stout limbs and is now carrying 14 enormous blooms. It looks almot like
a hydrangea from a distance the flowers are so big. It puts on quite a show in the garden. It has lovely foliage. It has had very little disease so far. I am quite delighted with it.
My garden is in N.C., zone 7. -- sls

This rose isn't succeeding in our no-spray garden here in coastal SE VA maybe 20 mins north of NC.. The beautiful and wonderfully fragrant blooms are never without brown edges-- the only rose so afflicted. Honey Perfume, Peace, and Quietness are all nearby. Hope as this plant establishes that I'll be able to cut it for the house.

Hi Rose Lowers,
I have planted "Abraham Darby" for the first time. Actually that was the first time I planted a rose. My question is the canes are so weak that do not bear the roses. What is the best way to solve this problem.

Hi Hakan, Yes, you are right this rose needs support, at least in the begining. i simply used a stick and tide some branches..... My rose is younger then 1 year so i don't know what's going to happen later on.. :) hopefully is going to be a great bush how doesn't need much support. :)

almost 1 year later... Fort Myers, Florida, zone 10 a .... they say Austin roses and not good for Florida because they get black spots very easy. It is true, but they forget to mention how fast this roses are growing and how easy they come back. They love to grow and grow ... and bloom. With minumum care they are doing great, even in Florida. I have few english roses and they are all doing great. I'm very happy with them, Abraham D is one of the best.

I'm in Plant City, Florida 9 a/b and I second the will to live of this particular Austin rose (not enough experience with other Austins, yet). My experience is to not let this rose be exposed to our hot afternoon sun... scorchies! And in the height of summer, sometimes the buds will get roasted before they get a chance to open.
The worst thing about the rose is that the bugs love it as much as we do. If you aren't willing to spray, it will get quite disgusting: about every bug that rose books say can be a problem will be a problem. I had never seen japanese beetles or cane borers (disgusting!) until I had A.D. for about a year. But Abe is undaunted and looks as healthy as my Old Blush despite the attacks!
