3. Hybrid tea and most other roses require frequent spraying

To remain healthy. If you prefer an organic product, neem oil is a good alternative to protect roses from pests and diseases.

Also, the more sunlight they can get (with sufficient watering at the roots), the more able they are to withstand their natural enemies.

If you decide to replace it, certain roses are much better than others at fending off the enemies. One is Pinkerbelle. Knockout roses also have been bred to be resilient, but I don’t think they are very pretty (YMMV).
