Different cultivars produce different foliage types, correct?

So to get a specific type of foliage, you would have to try breeding it into your hybridizing program?

What I have discovered.... and maybe this is not accurate, is that thin foliage is less prone to rust than wide foliage. I assume because rust needs an area in which to spread. Skinny leaves don't provide much area. But is that assumption wrong?

And I have also read that the dark blue-green foliage seems to be the most resistant to pests and possibly rust. Is this true?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
