Cold-hardy climbing rose
Comments (5)Hi Phoenix31: Krista (zone 5a New York) likes her Katherine Harrop rose, it's a Bourbon pink rose, almost thornless, see link: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=3592 If you want disease-resistant, Roses Unlimited is having 1/2 price sale, only $10 per gallon of roses. Harlekin (pink with red-edge) is hardy to zone 5a. But the sale is over soon, so you need to call them right away to get the 1/2 price sale. I see tons of Laguna (reddish purplish) Kordes rose at Meijers. VERY DISEASE resistant, but thorny and vigorous. I love my David Austin rose Crown Princess Magareta, but it's orange. Will post a pic. of that later. Tess of the d'uvervilles (David Austin Rose) is a red-climbing rose, very disease resistant....See MoreLinks to hardy roses in cold zones & best roses for hot & dry climate?
Comments (30)Below is the info. that Floweraremusic (zone 5) in Washington gave on her 2020 winter-survival. She has alkaline clay with rocks at bottom like mine & less snow in winter: "My hardiest roses are the Canadians. John Davis, John Cabot, Wm. Baffin, Morden Sunrise, Morden Blush and Morden Centennial, Victorian Memory aka Isabelle Skinner, also a Canadian rose. All these only have tiny bit of tip damage and bloom a lot with no special care. Also, my Hybrid Perpetuals only have tip damage after winter. Magna Charta, Mrs. John Laing, Black Prince and Marchesa Buccella. The only negative is they don’t have long enough cutting stems. All my Austins are very hardy. The one I just can not grow is Jude. Leonardo da Vinci is super hardy and always healthy. Quietness comes through winter very well. Even Rouge Royale survives beautifully. Cinderella Fairy Tale is very hardy. Gruss an Aachen also. Ballerina and Marjorie Fair are both hardy. Poseidon, Princess Charlene de Monaco and Crazy Love didn’t do as well as I’d hoped. The surprise losses this year are Quicksilver, and Dames de Chenonceau who is left with only 1 cane. Versigny is also reduced down to almost nothing. This was a mild winter with very little snow. " Floweraremusic (zone 5). From StrawChicago (zone 5a with hard black-gumbo alkaline clay & less snow but with freezing rain in winter). Versigny didn't survive winter either. So I lost Versigny TWICE. Besides Versigny, other wimpy own-root roses that don't survive winter well: Paul Neyron, Anna's Promise, Pink Peace (own-root died 1st winter, but grafted-Pink Peace survives many winter), Elantyne, Jude the Obscure, Young Lycidas (bought as grafted-on-Dr.Huey, now with only one cane), Mary Daly, and many floribundas don't survive my zone 5a: Pink Chiffon, Sheila's perfume, King Arthur, Deep Purple, Shocking blue, Honey Bouquet (survived 1 winter). Polka Climber (survived 1 winter), Cloutilde Soupert (died twice on me). Sutter's Gold didn't survive winter, same with many fragrant mini-roses from Burlington nursery. Below are my hardy OWN-ROOT roses in my zone 5a alkaline clay, only Double Delight, Young Lycidas and Lavender Crush are grafted-on-Dr.Huey. Bold-faced are the very vigorous ones: Own-roots with 3 feet of green canes: Carding Mill (since 2012), Princess Charlene of Monaco, Duchess de Rohan, Crown Princess Magareta (since 2012), Zepherine Drouhin, Lady of Shalott, James Galway, Lavender Crush, Queen of Sweden (gave away but very hardy), Poseidon (right below the rain-spout, dug down to 2.5 feet), Scepter'd Isle (very big & hardy own-root but gave that away with its lousy scent). Own-roots with 2 feet of green canes: La Reine (many winters), Blue Mist (since 2012), Prairie Harvest (since 2014), Mary Magdalene (since 2011), Evelyn (since 2012), Radio Times (since 2011), Pat Austin (since 2011), Christopher Marlowe (since 2011), Golden Celebration (since 2011), Lilian Austin (gave away but very hardy), the Squire, the Dark Lady, Wise Portia survived 4 winters but died in poor drainage clay, Dee-lish (since 2015), Twilight Zone (since 2016), William Shakespeare. 2000 (since 2011), Comte de Chambord (since 2012), Princess Anne, Sweet Mademoiselles, Aloha climber, Orchid Romance, Bohemian Rhapsody, Marie Pavie, Lagerfeld (since 2017), Frederic Mistral survived 2 winters but died when I didn't winter-protect with leaves, Sonia Rykiel (survived 3 winters) but died in freezing rain winter, same with 1/4 of the street-trees in my neighborhood, Excellenz von Shubert (since 2013), Own-roots with less than 1 foot of green canes: Gina's rose, Tchaikosky (since 2015), Cornelia (since 2018), Bolero (few winters), Peter Mayle, Sharifa Asma, Neil Diamond, Amber Queen, A Shopshire Lad, Strike it Rich, Old Port (since 2012), Veteran's Honor (many winters), Double Delight (grafted on Dr.Huey), Savannah, Tess of d'Uberville, Gene Boerner (since 2014), thornless Yves Seedling (since 2013), Stephen big Purple (since 2012), Louise Este, Mirandy, Crimson Glory, Liv Tyler survived 1 winter but needs winter-protection, Rouge Royal (bought last year with no winter-protection). Annie L. McDowell (survived 2 winters but needs a wet-spot since it's almost thornless), Nahema (survived 1 winter then died during freezing-rain winter), same with Eyes-for-you (drought-tolerant and doesn't like freezing wet winter), Souvenir du President Lincoln, Madame Issac Pererie and Madame Earnest Calvat, Firefighter (survived 2 winters) but died since it's next to tree. Bayes Blueberry (survived many winters but I gave away), Charles Darwin (gave away since it fades badly), Arthur Bell (since 2012 & killed it since I don't like the flowers).

Comments (5)Easy Does It is hands down the most floriferous rose I have ever grown. It's not a vivid orange more of a saturated apricot with large frilly edged blooms. It gets some die back, I'd call it snow line hardy, but is so healthy and vigorous that it quickly makes up any loss. I'd recommend grafted. Trumpter is the most vivid red/orange I can imagine and is very hardy. It's a compact bush with fairly large blooms, a generous bloomer, tends to blackspot so does best in full sun with good air circulation or would benefit from anti-fungal spray. Oranges & Lemons is also very hardy. In my garden it wasn't the best bloomer and took up a lot for space, grew long canes acted like a short climber....See MoreWell-Behaved Cold-Hardy (or "english gardeny" annual) Rose companions?
Comments (41)Hmm. It has been awhile since I lived in z 5-6 and I had only a handful of roses then. I have always loved flowers, though and grew them even as a child. Dianthus- There's a dianthus for everyone, I think. Some even have beautiful foliage that will smother weeds. The flowers are charming, often fragrant, and a color that will enhance most roses. I remember growing some from seed so if you're willing to start them early indoors, they may even bloom for you this year. Daisies- Just plain old-fashioned Shasta daisies look lovely in most country-type or cottage-type gardens. They look great with roses and last awhile in a vase. Modern Shasta daisies come in various heights from 1-4 ft. Some are doubles with a tousled appearance. Some are a pale yellow. Most will give you another flush of bloom if you cut them back after blooming, depending on when they bloom for you and your first frost. Cosmos- So easy to grow from seed. They should bloom for a good long time even if your first frost is late summer/early fall. Many will reseed so you may get some in the following years. The plant is sort of see-through and so not likely to overshadow even the young or delicate roses. Browallia- I don't know why these pretty blue flowered native annuals aren't more popular. Although not a good cut flower, they are easy to grow in the ground or in a pot and once they start to bloom, they don't stop. They are good for the front of a border or along a path. They are so lovely with most roses. Salvia- This is my favorite class of plants. There are several that make great garden annuals. Salvia farinacea (sort of looks like lavender) is hardy and tough without overwhelming most roses, looks nice with most roses and is something that deer despise. What's not to like? Salvia coccinea is a snap to grow from seed. The red ones might be too strong for pastel lovers but they also come in pure white and pink and white. They start blooming almost as soon as they come out of the ground and never stop. Hummingbirds will thank you. I can come up with plenty more but this is a start....See Moredublinbay z6 (KS)

Yes, my Quietness is very healthy and hardy and should do well for you. The other one that's been really good for me is Julia Child. Blooms like crazy, is winter hardy and one of my healthiest roses.
