I'm fairly new to roses and was wondering if someone could suggest a variety. I am looking for a good, "Cut Rose" that I can cut and put in a flower vase in the dining room every so often. I really dont like to spray for black spot as often as every week. I have a hybrid tea variety called Chilula (they were out of the Rio Samba variety - which is what I REALLY LIKED) that i've barely kept alive in a large pot...Im gonna have to transplant it to a better place in my raised bed garden. I wondered if the black spot disease could be eradicated before I transplant it... or should I trash the plant? I thought about cutting the plant back and spraying it with a chemical that would kill all the spores.. even thought of a 1:10 bleach solution on the branches... I dont know... help please... I live in Texas, near the Dallas area.
