Ah, my age old debate.

I'm going through roses like women go thru tissues at a wedding -- it's
happy, but it's messy and expensive.  I have been a big fan of own-root
roses -- but they tend to cost more and be less available.

The *one* rose I have that has survived all the shenanigans my garden,
the weather, and I have thrown at it is a grafted FRAGRANT CLOUD.
Granted, this rose is a toughie, but I am beginning to wonder whether
grafted roses, against all conventional wisdom, MIGHT do better here.
Can they uptake more water than a northern-climate bred rose would
through its own roots?

Are there cvs that are more particular than others?

Enquiring minds need to know!
