For hot & dry over 100 F, alternate with rain & humid climate, Brittie in Texas with black & heavy gumbo clay gave excellent info. Many thanks to Brittie for taking the time to document her roses in hot Texas:

http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=99.443340

She wrote in her HMF profile: " We live in the Houston, TX area (La Porte) and my garden is located within walking distance from the bay. Our climate is humid sub-tropical with an extremely long growing season of about 300 or more days and an average of 50 inches of rain per year. Average temps in January range from 40 to 60, while during "Summer" we have six months or more of days above 80 degrees (80 is usually the low temp during June, July, August and September). Our soil is clay gumbo and grows some REALLY big roses.

Performing best in my climate are generally the antiques, teas and chinas in particular. They bloom through the winter and sleep during the heat of summer for the most part, though Rock Hill Peach Tea and Trinity don't miss a beat. I've also killed 2 Star of the Niles, 3 Lady Emma Hamiltons and 3 Just Joeys. Lord give me strength not to try them again because they just can't take the heat!" Brittie near Houston, TX.

Her best roses in the heat are Veteran's Honor, Pope John Paul (very fragrant, low-thorn), and Archduke Charles. Brittie gave the best desc. and pics. of chili thrips in her HMF journa, see below link for Brittie's pics. of chili-thrips:

http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=99.443340&tab=42&qn=3d&qc=5

Britte wrote the below on chili thrips: " Hot Cocoa, Fire n Ice, Barbara Bush and Grande Dame are particularly happy. They're all pretty tall roses (5ft+) in my garden ... so I don't think they mind.

I live in the Houston area, and in mid(ish) September we had a mild cool front, whose winds dropped temps down into the 80s. Yay! Only not so much because it brought on the feeding frenzy again. I started seeing damage again and had to remove it, lest the chilli thrips population grow to ridiculous levels.

As far as the actual damage goes, I noticed several things about it, some that you can't photograph. First you see the twisted, deformed and smallish leaves on new growth. Look at the underside and you'll see heavy brown streaks, especially on the worst damaged leaves. Flowers come out deformed, sometimes with the petals looking a bit spikey, like a dahlia in appearance. Color is paler, even whitish, I would say, and those that are usually scented will lose most of their normal smell.

Dick Clark, who is normally a red and yellow flower, which fades to pink and white, was actually blooming almost completely white with a few pink streaks. Leveson Gower who is normally a medium pink, and Miss Atwood is is normally an apricot, were both blooming very, very pale and neither had any scent. " Brittie on chili-thrips.

The above cold-zone 5, is acidic soil, thus roses that like it acidic (Reine de Violette) has excellent winter-survival. But roses that like it alkaline (Rouge Royal) has poor winter-survival. Soil pH, mulch above to keep moist and how fast-drainage the hole is determine winter-survival.

Marcia wrote in the above link " Rouge Royale, Fair Bianca and Mrs. John Laing were own root babies planted in summer ’02 and were never very vigorous."

In contrast, Romanticas Meilland roses are very vigorous as own-root in my alkaline clay, Liv Tyler survived the 1st winter, but died next winter since I didn't cover the crown, same with Frederic Mistral (survived 2 winters), then roots got dry out since I didn't winter-protect it, same with Firefighter (survived 2 winters). I didn't winter protect own-root Firefighter so I lost it.

Own-roots if winter-protected well, can last for more than 10 years, with healthier growth than grafted. Re-post from the other thread:

I found a link to a zone 3a public garden in Minnesota in HMF. The below zone 3a garden has 179 varieties.

http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=3.9093&tab=1

Enchantedrose, in cold-zone CT reported that Buck Folksinger is very hardy & healthy. Also Kordes roses South Africa & Fairy-tale series are hardy for her. Another person reported that Golden Fairy tale is hardy in zone 4b.

Re-post the info. Floweraremusic zone 5 gave me on own-roots roses that survive winter easily in her heavy clay & drier zone 5a:

Floweraremusic in zone 5 wrote: these are my hardiest own roots -

Canadians Morden Sunset & Morden Blush & Morden Centennial &
John Davis - all 4 faithfully survive winters, bloom well planted at base of tall pines.

Wm. Baffin - almost total shade, complete neglect, pruned back every year. 12' tall.

John Cabot - complete neglect, hard pruned every year, huge 10'x8'.

Ispahan & Yolande d' Aragon - total neglect, yet survives. .

Magna Charta & Celestial & Charles de Mills & Errinerung an Brod

Mrs. John Laing & Ghislaine de Feligonde

Apothecary's Rose - completely forgotten under an overgrown flowering almond for years, complete shade. & Rugosas - exceptionally hardy.

Darlow's Enigma - can't kill this monster. Hacked to ground, kind of hoping it wouldn't come back - it did. One planted at base of tall pine actually does better than the other one in better conditions.

Rhapsody in Blue & Colette & Rosarium Uetersen & Classic Woman

Outta the Blue & Ballerina & The Fairy

These are the hardiest, but no roses lost to winter kill since I started mulching. Floweraremusic zone 5.

*** From Straw: THANK YOU, Floweraremusic for that list, I see French Meilland roses: Colette & Classic Woman, which do very well in heavy clay.

For Austin roses as own-roots, the following are very small & wimpy and more likely to die in zone 5 and below: Jude the Oscure (4 died on me), Eglantyne (2 died on me), Jubilee Celebration (slow & hard to grow for warm-zoners, died in a cold-zone), Princess Alexandra of Kent (died in zone 5b), and Lady Emma Hamilton (died for many as own-root, and wimpy as grafted).

For own-roots the lavender ones are not winter-hardy: both Heirloom and Angel face died as own-roots for my zone 5a. Grafted Angel Face barely survive winter in zone 5a. Digging deep down to 2 feet really help with winter-survival (better drainage), plus cover with mulch (leaves & bark) up to 6 inch. to keep moist.

W.S. 2000 as own-root is very hardy in my zone 5a, but small & compact. That was only 8 inch. tall as 1st year own-root, but survived 5 winters. The first winter I took a large plastic pot (bottom cut-off) and put that around the tiny rose, then filled with soil, and add leaves on top. Best with 6 inch of coverage above.

How to make roses hardier: dig a large hole (2' wide x 2' deep) for good drainage so roots don't crack in freezing ice & make soil loamy & fluffy with organic matter, and cover well up to 6" mulch so roots don't dry out.

Khalid compiled a fantastic rating of roses in his extremely hot climate up to 110 F in Pakistan. Most of his roses are grafted on Centifolia root-stock, which is drought-tolerant. Old-garden and Austin roses that perform well in my extreme cold zone 5a, also do well in Khalid's extreme heat. Re-post the 3 categories that Khalid wrote:

Agree with what Nipptress (Cynthia) stated in Rose forum about winter-protection for her zone 5b, Nebraska: "I've killed more roses over the winter from canker damage with moisture than have died naturally from winter cold. " Cynthia.

*** From Straw: leaves, if NOT composted is quite acidic, and will cause black canker if cover roses with. I used alkaline horse manure or alkaline bagged soil to winter-protect my roses, no black canker from acidity. My neighbor used fresh wood-chips to winterize her hybrid teas with excellent result.

However, some roses are just weak, see below old thread, band means it's a small own-root bought that year.

karl_bapst_rosenut(5a, NW Indiana) I don't wrap the canes as they usually grow back each year from the base. Because modern roses bloom on new wood, I don't really care if my hybrid teas die back severely. The important thing is they survive the winter and are blooming by late May/early June.
They must get well rooted though. Planted too late in the year, they don't get established well enough and seldom well survive the first winter. Karl on April 19, 2011 at 11:09PM

Most Austins are hardy, except for Graham Thomas (grafted) which died for many. Graham Thomas does well with sandy/loamy soil and can't take frozen clay.

I started this thread with roses best for extreme cold and roses best for high heat (like Khalid's climate of 110 F) ... I notice roses that can stand extreme heat for Khalid's climate also fare well in my extreme cold winter. Here's Lynn from hot & dry Nevada climate ... I notice many of her roses are sold or grown in my zone 5a.

Desertgarden-Las Vegas, Z9a

I refer to Cl. America as "screaming America". My husband selected it. I find the color difficult to work with. I actually have two and both have blooms (smaller), right now. I will always have an iceberg either in bush or climbing form. Of my 170- 200 roses, 3 are yellow ( Golden Celebration, South Africa and Lady Hillingdon).

Listed below are a few modern roses that I have grown, and found to perform well in my hot dry climate. ( The majority were grafted on Dr. Huey.. planted ideally in January.. although a handful were 1 gallon own root planted .. at the latest, by February).

Khalid: Karl's listing of which ones are hybrid-rugosa for zone 5a is good. Rugosa is known as "beach rose" since it thrives in sandy soil. Rugosa is the most drought-tolerant rose that one can find. There's an Austin rose "Wild Eric", which is a Rugosa-hybrid, and folks praise that for its being drought-tolerant & healthy in loamy soil.

Austin rose The Dark Lady also has Rugosa heritage, thus less of a water-hogs than other Austins. One drawback of Rugosa: it dislikes chemical fertilizer, but very healthy. Rugosa can tolerate extremes in temp., be it hot or cold.

I once read a book: an experienced Wisconsin Rosarian planted his roses AT SOIL LEVEL, then pile up mulch & leaves & dirt for winter-protection. His logic: if roses are planted below soil-level, less basal breaks and less full-bush formed.

I agree. It's best to plant roses higher in heavy clay for better drainage.

My cold zone makes hard for compost to reach neutral pH, even after 1 year. With tons of acidic rain, it's even harder. The only dry & nice-smell compost I had seen was the neighbor's HUGE CYLINDER TUMBLER with a crank, it kept the rain out, and the compost smelled nice & with frequent turning via a crank to introduce oxygen.

WARNING ON PUTTING LEAVES (9 months old) or compost that haven't reached neutral pH; That can really hurt roses' roots. I did that many times, and shrank my roses.

On-line info: It takes 2 years for leaves to decompose fully without human intervention (chopping to bits, or turning constantly to aerate).

Half-decomposed organic matter is safe AT THE BOTTOM of the planting hole (2 feet deep) to give off acid to break through the dense & alkaline bottom layer FOR BETTER DRAINAGE.

By the time roots are mature (a year later), that stuff will be fully de-composed, but NOT SAFE TO PUT half-decomposed stuff at ROOT-LEVEL, that will burn roots with its acid, be it half-rotted leaves or acidic compost.

Advantage of putting half-rotted leaves or compost AT BOTTOM OF PLANTING HOLE: I can plant tiny own-roots HIGHER THAN AT SOIL LEVEL, and it'll sink down later when the stuff at bottom is fully composted.

Planting own-roots at soil level or above soil level encourages more basal breaks. If I put 6 inch. of organic matter at the BOTTOM at 2 feet deep, I can plant own-roots a few inches higher .. then it will sink down to below soil level near winter.

Val who works for a professional landscape company in Florida (hot & sandy). They plant their roses a few inches ABOVE SOIL LEVEL, that's to cope better with sinking & eroded sand.

What a great compilation of data, thanks Straw!

I learned the hard way to plant mine a few inches above soil level. Now I have around a hundred that have sunk below already and I worry about pooling water.

Good thing that we are usually so dry though!

We are in a wet spell for the past 3 years. It's raining non-stop for the past 3 days, Jan 15 & 16 & 17. I didn't even water my 30 tomatoes this past summer, except for when 1st planted as tiny babies (pack of 6 for $2).

Nahema, a child of Heritage, HATED BEING PLANTED DEEP. It refused to grow leaves when I planted it so deep. I notice that roses that prefer loamy soil (Heritage & Nahema) need to be planted a bit higher .. these roses don't like to be choked to death below thick & dense clay. These "loamy" roots need more oxygen or aeration.

Roses that prefer clay, such as Dr. Huey-rootstock OR Meilland Romantica roses don't mind being planted way below soil level. These have woody & thick & vigorous roots. But planting deep makes these root more water-logged during heavy rain.

I have one Heritage and one Jude the Obscure in clay. The Jude is half the height of the sandy ones with significantly less blooms. The Heritage is actually doing much better after a slow start and there's not as much of a drastic difference between the clay and all of the sandy ones.

Thank you, lavender, for the info. on clay vs. sand, which is vital for winter-survival. Clay holds more moisture than sand, and cluster-root & multiflora-heritage prefers loamy/sandy soil.

Moved info. that I gave too Kelly from another thread into here:

Kelly: Re-post your list for your zone 4 with my comments ... the highlights ones I would buy.

The reeve: Yes, it's hardy & disease-resistant

De lish: Will notify you in May

Rose de rescht: Yes, it's hardy & Khalid loves it.

St Elbertha: spelling?

Cressida: yes, a zone 4 person grows it

Perdita: yes, hardy & blooms lots for folks

CL America: saw at local zone 5a store, it's a once-bloomer

Alfred Columb: spelling?

Vick's Caprice: is hardy & thornless & easy to root. I would buy this !!

Variagata de bolongia: spelling?

Jaques cartier: No, I gave it away, ugly huge bush, tiny & boring blooms

Madame Isaac Pierre: I have it, this roots easily, I accidentally killed its baby.

Liv Tyler: No, thorny water-hog and died in my zone 5a winter, weird scent.

Sonia Rykiel: yes, survived many my zone 5a winter until rain/freeze in Dec. '15.

Rogue royal: Not winter hardy, wimpy as own-root, prefers alkaline clay.

Augusta Renoir: No, serious balling, not hardy.

Aloha: yes, vigorous climber

General cavaignac: Not hardy, need zone 6b.

Gloire de Dijon: No, Tea Noisette is NOT hardy.

Baroness de rothschild: yes, it's grown in zone 4 public rose park in Canada

Gloire de ducher: No, hardy to zone 6b, re-bloom isn't great.

Paul ricault: hardy to zone 4b, yes !! Centifolia is super-healthy.

Sweet Victoria: Bred in Canada, yes, hardy.

Etna: a moss rose, not hardy unless you are in zone 6b.

Leopold Ritter: yes, hardy to zone 2b, multiflora needs loamy & acidic soil.

LA petite prince: Delbard bluish rose? Delbard and blue: both are not hardy.

1812 rose: No, a zone 8b person reported die-back in winter.

Out of Rosenheim: no scent, plus 32" x 16" isn't big enough to survive cold zone.

Traviata - very healthy at alkaline zone 5a rose park, height of 47" is vigorous.

Leonardo de Vinci - No, only hard to zone 6b vs. Bolero hardy to zone 5b.

Yolande de Aragon - yes, zone 5 and 4 folks love this.

Paul Bocuse - hardy to zone 5b with height of 5' is plenty vigorous.

Yves piaget - no, very wimpy, unless grafted.

Versingy - survived 2 of my zone 5a winter, need loamy soil & winter-protection. Died on Nipptress (Cynthia) and died in my 3rd winter.

Peter mayle - Died on a few zone 5b folks, survived for another zone 5b since it's close to his house & heavy winter-protection.

St Ethelburga - hardy to zone 6b, size 4' x 3' from England. I don't see Nipptress (Cynthia zone 5b) with 700+ roses growing this, so it's iffy.

Variegata di Bologna - hardy in zone 3b, occasional repeat, 6' to 10' tall.

Alfred Colomb - bred in France, almost thornless, hardy in zone 6b, but height is decent at 4' to 5'. I see zone 4b, zone 5b gardens growing it.

Rose a Parfum de IHay - hardy to zone 2b, a Rugosa means it needs sandy/loamy soil & drought tolerant & great scent. ***** StrawChicago

Straw, these lists are so helpful, BIG thanks!

Lavenderlace: Thank you for your kind words !! This post on what survives winter best is also helpful for DRY & sandy soil areas. What kill roses in cold-zone are: 1) poor drainage with freezing-rain in winter 2) dry & cold spring.

Years ago I lost a few roses with poor-drainage so I fixed drainage on ALL my roses, digging down past 2.5 feet & get rid of icky clay & rocks below. But this DRY & cold spring killed many newly bought own-root with tiny short roots. Really appreciate folks who honestly shared about which roses they lost through the winter.

Without honesty there's zero learning. Too bad that forum-folks don't share much about which roses didn't survive winter.

This past winter 2018 is the WORST in 17 years for roses. We went from cold & dry winter to hot summer fast, with a short & cold & dry spring. I feel bad about roses dying to the crown, except for zone 4 or well-established Austins. A few vigorous roses sprout leaves fast despite dying to the crown: Gene Boerner, Louis Estes, Strike it Rich, Dee-lish. These are also drought-tolerant with deep roots.

It's Chicagoland's dry & short & cold spring that's to blame. We had snow in April !! My 2nd Pat Austin (water-hog) barely made it. Perpetua (Romania, zone 6) also posted in HMF that this is her WORST winter for modern roses, but her old-garden-roses bounced back.

Two roses that I bought during RU last summer sale (mid-June) survived winter with green canes (The Squire and Madame E. Calvat). I piled up alkaline horse manure, then leaves UP to 1 foot.

But the roses which I piled up acidic grass-clippings and leaves suffered with black canes & died to the crown. Next year I go back to using horse manure to winter-protect roses, rather than acidic toppings like grass-clippings & leaves.

bump up for reference.

Thank you so much for these wonderful lists!! They are so helpful for knowing what doesn't do well as well as what does!!

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). StrawChicago.

Straw, thanks for reviving this thread. Lots of good info here for Forum newcomers. i can't imagine why I didn't include any Austins in my first comment, way up thread. Austins are always my most reliably winter hardy. Meilland next then Kordes.
