Toni, I know you've lost a couple roses this year from heat---how did the roses that you got from Palatine do?
I know our winter isn't as cold as yours (I'm 5b/6a), but Liebeszauber did very well last year with little dieback. And I didn't mulch her at all (oops). She shrugged off the winter and then grew like gangbusters. And our drought this year didn't bother her as much as some of the other roses. I wish she had a stronger scent but it's a great rose.
