I plants 4 of these roses last year. They were very pretty, maybe 2 1/2 - 3 ft tall. Good form, great color, a delight. They seemed quite resistant to disease with fair resistance to Japanese beetles, which plague our area here in Northern Illinois, near the Wisconsin border. I think I am in zone 5, but I am not sure. But, I could not cover them, as deep snow came on very fast last year, and they were very hurt by the winter. Two died completely - the other two were injured and small, and one died later in the season. I replaced the two dead ones with a promise to myself that I would cover them this year no matter what. They are worth another try...
