Disneyland is just average on rust resistance here. It is fairly continuous in bloom, more than Honey Perfume. Check to see if they have 'Tuscan Sun', which is more continuous and has better disease resistance (at least here--YMMV).

Oh WOW! What beautiful pics! Thank you all for responding. I know it takes a little more effort to post a pic so I want you to know I really appreciate it. : ) I went to one of the nurseries I buy roses from but they were sold out and I just called another one I shop at and they were sold out. Looks like I may have to order this one. I've never had to do that - being in So.CAl. I usually find what I need at a nursery. I have two other nurseries I can try first so cross your fingers for me. Thanks again for the gorgeous enabling! : ) Diana

Where does your sister live? It could be an insect issue such as rose midge. It could also be the Disneyland Rose was killed by the weather and she's left with root stock. Perhaps the temps have been too low for flower buds to form. If she's in Anchorage, maybe the weather is to blame. If she's in St. Petersburg, it's probably more likely a pest issue. Location can make tremendous differences.

Ben, I think you're right about the source of PL in this country. Mine came from Burling, and I reached out to her earlier this summer to ask about its origin. She said her plant came from Ludwig's daughter: "A few years ago, she came to the States and went in partnership with another rose grower in Arizona. His name was Taylor Francis. Their partnership ended and she was looking to start a nursery in Oregon. She stop by my nursery and she gave me some cuttings, and one of the roses was Purple Lodge. Whether it was the correct one or not, I really can't tell you." I've wondered whether the cutting Burling received was accidentally mislabeled, and it might have been a similar named rose, e.g., Purple Breeze (see link below), which looks very similär to the PL circulating here in the States. Whatever it is, it's a remarkably dark rose, repeats well and has never shown any sign of disease in my garden. I do wish we could get our hands on the PL rose they're growing in Europe, though! https://www.nirpinternational.com/en/garden-rose/209/PURPLEBREEZE
