I too am an ex-northerner. I expect the story is true here.
Roses are high maintenance anywhere. If, you want nice roses you, in most cases, need to spray every two weeks.
I recall a short drive to the garden center, to buy more rose spray and on the way I noticed a rose surely not taken care of growing fine at the side of the road.
The roses we tend to buy are bred for the,"perfect," flower.
Easy care, low maintenance, is not a top priority. For low maintenance roses research some of the heirloom, old fashioned,
roses.
A rose by any other name-if you see one growing wild, you can cut pieces of the stem and root them.
