I've had good luck with several roses, some I paid more for and some came from a big box store, they are all thriving and doing well. We give them no special care and it's basically survival of the fittest with us.

We have four Rugosa roses also and they are extremely hardy. We did have a problem this year after being here for nine years with rose chafers, something we have never seen before but the roses are blooming again so I hope there was no permanent damage.
