Hey Tim, I'm not sure about the Iran connection, but generally that is the truth. The hybridized tea roses, and the other "showy" cultivars that rose gardeners love to collect, are very fussy. But otherwise, roses are a very hardy and carefree garden plant. Wild roses, rugosa & similar varieties are very useful shrubs, I like to use them a lot. They will take extreme cold and heat, and love it. They look great with ornamental grasses. If a client really wants a "rose garden," here in this rainy, mold happy environment.....first, I try to talk them out of it, but if they really want a rose garden I usually design the "bones" of the garden and then let them collect and care for the varieties they wish. Rosa glauca is one my favorite plant....it is wild shrubby rose that about 7'x7', the stems have a burgundy coloration, and the foliage has a glaucus grey/green foliage, the flower is a small, simple clear pink..in profusion. callnetuk.com And...it has these great big rose hips in fall and winter... callnetuk.com
