Roses gone bad

ALBAS......most are very tall and upright with strong stems from the base and beautiful pale green gray foliage and most are very fragrant. Because they have the dog rose in them, they are very hardy and will endure situations that would be harsh to most rose bushes. Most will do well on poor soil, with winds and in partial shade. Albas are disease free and only need pruning to keep them in check if necessary.
