the blooms are delicate looking but rose itself is VERY HARDY to zone 2 which is one of the main reasons why I bought six of them this year

I got tired of filling bag after bag of dead California rose canes that would die back all the way to the ground almost every winter

shovel pruned Don Juan, Erotica, Golden showers, Let Freedom Ring, and Berolina rose Good riddance

Experience with Morden Blush?
Q

OOOPS!! Thanks very much for all the posts!!! The pictures do look my first year with Morden blush. I am keeping an eye on the sprouting cane with suspicion. A real sun-lover - I messed up then, she is actually in a front corner spot that I wouldn't call the most sunny in my small garden - I thought she would be OK there as these roses were bred to be tough. If she is a real sun lover (as evidently my failed Intrigues were, trying a third time) I'll try moving her to a better spot - thank you for all the posts! I miss the pretty flowers I had the first year.

I have not grown Cinderella Fairy Tale. I only grew Morden Blush for 2-3 years--I got really into fragrance and this one doesn't make the cut for that-- but it had good disease resistance no spray (not perfect but good enough,) some shade tolerance, and set decorative orange hips. A lot to recommend it, really, and now that I've moved and need a few landscape pinks I might consider it again. MB should be more cold hardy (MB was bred for cold hardiness--listed down to zone 2b.) MB sounds like a smaller bush than CFT--I don't think MB grew over 4 feet in zone 7b and it was compact/narrow upright, not arching/spreading. MB didn't stand out as being esp. thorny, but I don't think I ever cut one for a vase.

Morden Blush is a fabulous rose - mine at my last place grew to about 3 1/2 feet high by 2 feet wide. It had tons of flowers, and looked fabulous. You picked a great rose.
I used to cut the blooms when they were just opening and put them in my girls' braided hair when we went to church.
