I live in the San Francisco Bay Area-Sacramento Valley area. I rarely spray my roses and this year my Abracadabra didn't get pruned. Right now it is a huge mass of Apricot - Yellow - Pink roses. I looked for black spot but didn't find any leaves with it. Sometimes my roses get black spot on the old growth if I do not get around to pruning them. This rose was clean. It is so massive and full of flowers. It is never without blooms from Spring to late fall. The fragrance is heavenly even from a distance. It is just a great rose in my 9B zone.
