How long do roses live?
So tonight my husband asked me about people who grow roses and how rose growers tend to not tolerate plants that don't perform. Shovel pruning and all that. From this the question arose as to what roses tend to live a long time given the right circumstances. I really did not have an answer for him. Do certain roses shine in the longevity department? If so what are they? I know a lot of folks here have roses from friends and relatives that are quite aged. I'm curious to know what some of those might be.
Thanks in advance.
