The Rose Society of Western Australia /South West Rose Group grow and recommend roses grown on fortuniana root stock, it is not only more robust and more resistant to disease, but also produces more flowers compared to those grown on other root stock. Fortuniana’s fine root system is more suitable to our high temperatures in summer and porous sandy soils of the coastal plain.
