I have reservations about Don Juan. When I grew it in NJ it ultimately perished of black spot. I got some fabulously wonderful roses from it: dark red and deliciously fragrant. With regular spraying it lasted two, maybe three seasons, looking pretty ugly as a plant through most of summer. There are parts of Texas where I'm quite sure Don Juan would be even more unhappy. Porkpal, correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure whether Trish's area is one of them.
