I have Peggy Martin. I bought it as a gallon plant over 2 years ago. It's very vigorous and now over 15 feet wide. Vossner has it to, if I remember correctly. It's pretty much a once bloomer with a few sporadic blooms in the fall. Here it is blooming in late April (on the fence).

Besides Peggy, my top recommendations for tough roses for Texas have to be Ducher and Souvenir de la Malmaison.
