people new to rose gardening.

It's very important to grow blackspot resistant roses in this climate.

Because the areas long growing season and hot weather is ideal for fungus diseases to develop.

I recommend spraying with a fungicide to prevent or eradicate it.

If you don't intend to spray, you should choose really tough shrub roses with thick leaves, such as Veterans Honor rose

Roses that have lots of petals do very well in the Texas climate also.

Unfortunately, David Austins English roses do NOT do well in Texas. They hate the hot weather there, and do not bloom well.
