I had no problems at all when I grew it 6 years ago.If your worried about the rain,maybe try raised bed or mound the soil higher.Just make sure it has good airflow around it.It smells good too.I was gonna buy another
rose Wensday,but they we're mostly cleared out ceept form $12
roses.I would buy Belinda's dream again.I also use neem faithfully in my yard.
