Roses
Roses Environment
Roses can survive a wide range of environmental conditions.
Rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub.
There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions.
But they also grow in tropical climate.
They require well drained soil and plenty of sunshine.
Watering should be moderate

Biotic Factors
Humans breed for disease resistant roses.
Diseases infected insects bring on diseases to rose leaves that they eventually become immune to.

Abiotic Factors
I found no research regarding abiotic factors, but I would think that the environment and air are factors that affect the roses.
How Roses Became Resistant to Diseases
Humans and Insects contributed to roses becoming disease resistant.
Insects brought diseases to the rose leaves while humans were breeding for them.

Benefits and Negatives in Roses Disease Resistance
• Save you money, with no need to buy expensive disease-eliminating products
• Save you time, as you spend less time on maintenance
• Better for the environment, as chemicals can be harmful
• Healthy plants have more blooms and more attractive, fuller, more lush foliage
• Healthy plants are better at maintaining beneficial insects, butterflies, and birds

Human Involvement
Humans breed for disease resistant roses for prettier and long lasting gardens.
What Eats Roses?
At least 10 insect pests attack roses. The Texas A&M University Extension Service says they are divided into two general groups: sucking insects that insert their mouthparts into leaves, buds, stems and canes to suck out the plants' vital juices, and chewing insects that eat plant tissue from leaves, stems, flowers, buds and roots.
Double Knockout rose bushes are a very
disease-resistant subspecies of rose, making them perfect growing
subjects for inexperienced gardeners. Some of the common rose diseases are
powdery mildew and rust, which do not affect Double Knockout rose bushes. Unlike
other rose bushes, Double Knockouts require no spraying for pesticides or
insects, as they are insect resistant as well.

Does this affect the food web?
Yes, in fact, this resistance creates an abondance of food for the entire food web.
The abondance of roses makes an abodance of insects and so on.
