I grow mine outside year round and have not noticed a lot of bug problems with them. Maybe the rain does help. I have seen mealies on the new growth at times. I just cut back those infested parts and spray down the whole plant with Bayer rose spray that you can attach to the garden hose. It is a pretty hardy plant. It handles temps from 40's up to 100 with very little distress. Plus the full sun in summer. It is looking a little beat up right now from the hard summer, but still putting out buds and flowers. I love it!
