These roses are growing in a roadside ditch near my home in Chambers County, Alabama. I also have some growing wild under a tree in my yard. They require no care, and have no blackspot or fungal problems I ever noticed. They rarely get more than 18 inches tall and spread by underground runners. Their simple beauty has a calming effect, making me think of DesideratThe universe is unfolding as it should. Carolina roses are tolerant of wet and dry conditions,part sun or full, and even alkaline soil. The only thing more I could ask for is a longer bloom time. They bloom for a short month in late spring/ early summer in SE Alabama.
