Had two in separate 3x3 redwood containers for over ten years here in San Francisco which is cold and moist at night even in the summer. They were in full sun about 4-5 hours a day, bloomed constantly, no diseases at all. They finally petered out so am replacing with Sunsprite (a parent) and see how they do.

This rose is in its second year in the ground for me. It really performed well last year, but that was nothing compared to how it is growing and blooming this year! Last year, its blooms fell apart really easily, but this year the blooms have survived several storms. And it is always covered with blooms! Black spot is a huge problem here in southern Missouri, but this rose has proven to be very resistant to it so far.

It's very wet, here, in the Portland area. Hence, fungi and aphids thrive disturbingly well. The Sun Flare is quite resistant to both, does well in partial shade, and blooms all summer long in this location.
In my experience, its survivability is better than most other varieties. Even if you should feel the need for desperate measures (such as Immunox), it will remain relatively unfazed.

This floribunda is doing well in dappled sun and has been resistant to black spot. Lovely yellow colored blooms, although they do tend to shatter easily.
