... and they were dying in large numbers, without regard for genus, species or cultivar. In one Oklahoma City public garden, an American rose test garden, every rose had to be removed and destroyed.
A few roses, however, managed to evade that onslaught... and recovery, though slow, became the talk of the town. 'Tuscan Sun' and 'Hot Cocoa' are two of the survivors.

@jathton, you added this photo twice. (click on either tagged rose database entry)
The comments would be best added to the actual plant database for the rose itself rather than hidden with the Plant Combo photo. It's only seen if someone enlarges the photo and scroll down past the photo to see there there is a thread attached to that said photo and then click on the title.
Thank you, Sue. I normally double-check my entries... but I remember being very tired that night. Memory is also affecting me these days... so now I have to remember to remember to check carefully. Your help on both these matters is very much appreciated.
