A reliable repeat bloomer at Rancho Roly Poly, a hybrid developed for disease-resistence and drought-tolerance at Texas A&M University. It is relatively immune to black spot, fungus and mildew. The colors obviously vary.

Belinda’s Dream, a cross between Tiffany and Jersey Beauty at the rose genetics and breeding program at Texas A&M University, isn’t strictly an antique rose. It was bred in 1992 to be disease resistant, and I have found that the canes and leaves are. But if the location isn’t a very sunny one, the blossoms themselves get attacked and chewed on by various insects.
