In the description of this rose it says that it doesn't like hot weather. Our weather here in Brentwood California has many days over 100 degrees. My Pristine loves the heat. It's leaves and flowers hold up well in the heat.

My experience matches yours jmile. 'Pristine' has been growing for many years in our garden in Perth, Western Australia, which also has very hot summers and it handles the heat extremely well.

If it handles heat in California and in Perth, W.A., it should not carry that misleading growing statement. Deleted. Thanks to you both.
(you have made me really think about a foundling "Rhapsody Cottage" and one day I must look closer at adding more 'Pristine' references. In the meantime, I'll just add a photo)

My experience seems to confirm these observations, in a different way. For what it’s worth, here it is:
I’ve had Pristine for 3 years now in the Southeast of England (cool and mild) and it’s always the slowest of my roses to get started. After buds break, leaves develop but the tiny flowerbuds go blind before they get a chance to develop at all. It is not until high summer (when other roses have already had or are having their second flush) that Pristine manages to bloom. Which makes me think that this rose, far from objecting to heat, needs it to be able to bloom at all...
