I'm pretty much in the same boat with Wayside. When Porkpal writes here "I bought a dozen hybrid tea roses from Wayside two years ago. They all shipped promptly and are thriving, blooming all summer long despite tropically damp weather here in TX, and growing vigorously without a trace of blackspot," I'll reconsider.
In the mean time, I'll just have to live vicariously, admiring Zuzu's and Sue's lovely photos of roses I'll never grow.
