Billy Graham is a bit slow to break dormancy in the Spring, but well worth the wait. Planted with the graft 3" below soil level and mounded with straw it has survived -20F temps for me. Mr. Graham is a long tall rose with a very polite growing habit. He normally blooms more like a Grandiflora with three flowers per stem. Good disease resistance as well.

Does Billy Graham do well with extremely hot temperatures? What kind of temperatures does it prefer? It seems rather slow.

Billy Graham is a slow. I lost this rose over last winter. As I recall it didn't like triple digit heat at all and would stop growing until the temps dropped under 90 degrees farenheit.

Thank you for responding about the Billy Graham Hybrid Tea Rose. I planted it this Spring and so far as not grown much or shown me much. It is planted on the southside near the foundation. The temps have been above 90 somedays here in Spokane, WA. I put kelp around it and peat moss - trying to get it to accelerate. Is it a pretty rose or should I yank it and replace it with something like Salsa a Floribunda that may do better? Thanks again. Anything you can tell me about this rose will help.

I live just north of you. I would give Billy Graham a season to settle in. He will be the last to break dormancy in the spring so don't worry when he doesn't wake up with everyone else. If you don't see improvement then I'd shovel prune and find something else.
