Zephirine Drouhin

I have had this rose in a primo location for 3 years now. She continues to do poorly. No real disease, except a touch of mildew now and then. From the looks of her, you would guess that she doesn't get enough water, but she does. her flowere-the few that show up very infrequently are smaller than I know they should be, have poor color, and seem to be "blown" pretty much as soon as they open. Her dirtmates Gertrude Jekyll, Belle Story, Alexandra Rodes, & Perdita thrive continuously. I had always heard that Zeffy was all but bulletproof. I find her to be the weakest and most pathetic of all my roses. She also never seems to put on any size.- Never mor than 18" high, and thin/scraggly. Of course I shuld pull her out, but I am curious about why she is such a loser. Any thoughts?
