In this spot, I need roses that can put up with winter abuse and summer drought and sun. Sadly, most of these sort of groundcover roses have no fragrance.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-18751396070607777542012-01-29T18:18:28.638-08:002012-01-29T18:18:28.638-08:00I hadn't though that humidity would factor in ...I hadn't though that humidity would factor in so much, but you are right!
