The Jackson and Perkins research center is just outside Somis California near the coast. Find hardy roses where the surviving roots enable plants to rejuvenate as the same plant variety, rather than the rootstock variety, after a hard freeze. The company's mail order business resulted from a garden exhibit Jackson & Perkins set up at the 1939 World's Fair in New York entitled A Parade of Modern Roses. New roses offer easier planting due to more pliable roots that need smaller holes and suffer less transplant shock. Roses like a good, deep soak to promote deep rooting and they will actually develop drought tolerance if established this way.
