White Cockade showed evidence of leaf yellowing from blackspot initially, before it was established or in responce to stress. So, on established plants in well drained garden soil, water regularly and mulch with compost, you should not have problems. We have around 15 in 1 gallon pots (own root) as of August 2005 (AV).
