| Botanical Name | Rosa 'Peggy Martin' |
| Description | Known as the "Survivor Rose," this vigorous climber famously survived being submerged in saltwater for weeks after Hurricane Katrina. It is exceptionally well-suited for the Houston climate, showing high resistance to black spot and mildew. While it is more tolerant of heavy soils and "wet feet" than almost any other rose, it still appreciates a well-draining site. If your garden has severe clay that holds standing water for days, consider planting in a raised mound or bed for optimal growth. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours) |
| Height x Width | 15-20 feet tall x 6-10 feet wide |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is quite hardy but benefits from regular watering during intense Houston dry spells. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and late summer to encourage reblooming. |
| Pruning | Prune after the first big spring flush to shape and control size. Thin out older canes every few years. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
