As the rose planting season begins, many enthusiasts ponder which varieties will thrive best in hot and arid climates. Selecting the right rose cultivar for your region is vital, as an ill-suited variety may need help to flourish or even perish. This article will explore this subject in depth and provide an exclusive selection of disease-resistant roses designed for the most sun-drenched and arid areas.
Why Hot Climates Challenge Roses
Let’s face it: roses aren’t precisely desert dwellers. Hot and arid climates present a double threat: scorching temperatures and a lack of moisture. These factors combine to stress roses, making them vulnerable to diseases like black spots and powdery mildew. But fear not; with the proper selection, your garden can be a haven of vibrant blooms, even under the harshest sun.
