Oh i am so glad you all are talking about this...since I am sorta a newbie id like to ask a few ?s about Rust....What is its northern limit to survive through the Winter? And if a plant does get rust...will it always have it or if it dies off in the winter does it recover just fine? Im just trying to prepare myself in case I ever do get it from a southern grower by accident...I dont think i would blame them...Its sorta impossible to completely eliminate the possibility...
