I will second everything PorkPal says with the exception that, in my care, the Earthkind roses don't get the two years of TLC. I'm pretty sure I have all of them also. I do try to plant them properly, and maybe give them a good soaking every few weeks, but that's it. The floribundas and others are up closer to the house, so they do benefit from that.
Considering most of my roses have been planted in the last 2 years, and we've gone through the 2 most extreme years in Kansas' history, I would say that's a pretty good recommendation.
The roses I moved here from the last house are not a whole lot bigger than some of my newer ones.
Our drought this summer is now officially the worst in recorded history in Kansas. We got a tiny bit of rain this morning, and we're expecting a bit more this weekend, but it will be a while before our trees recover from this one.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
