Re: Roses for SoCal desert?

**"* O* <t*@earthlink.net>**

Many roses thrive easily in the SCal desert, especially the hybrid teas, if
given enough water, some fertilizer, and a bit of protection from the wind.
They get very little rust, mildew, blackspot, etc. in the warm dry air....In
the very hottest areas the roses will do just fine in half/sun, half/shade.

Subject: [GWL] Roses for SoCal desert?

> I just got a question about a Rose/Roses for the Southern California
desert. Can anyone help? I've only spent about 3 hours there. It's way out
of my biome. I have no idea what to suggest, or even if they can tolerate
the triple digit temps there.
