I'm afraid I don't have any glamour shots of my Sally, but I'll share what I've got. Here she is in 2018, the year after she was planted -- no height yet, but doing well: I'm training her up over that black structure, which is the screenhouse where I grow fruits, vegetables occasionally, and cutting flowers. Last spring I placed a bench in her spot and moved her down a bit. Not sure if she resents the bench, likes the bench and wants to be friends with it, or just thinks it's in her spot: She gets blackspot on her feet and defoliates, but continues to bloom: I included her in this very blowsy arrangement, which had already started to lose its petals when I snapped the photo: Just a note that this is the first time I've tried to upload photos via Houzz, and they all look kind of blurry here in this preview window. Not sure if they'll clear up once I submit the post.

Plants in pots lose one zone of hardiness. I too put 1 gallon pots of Tea roses (z 7) in an alcove next to the house. Sally Holmes is rated z 5b. In the ground, planted, your plants should be fine. I lived in Alaska for 33 years and was in z 3. Up there, it really was a challenge. You should be able to grow all roses Dawn without winter protection in the ground. I, like Judith, love to pamper the pots that are portable but 24 degrees is not too much for an in ground Hybrid Musk rose. Watering is a great idea, even in the ground.

Thank you Carol. I’ll update once it is fully opened. Vapor I think I may be uncharacteristically unlucky for busy bags. 2 years ago I purchased 3 playboy at Lowes and they turned out to be some red hybrid teas.lol. I think I am done trying. Kristine I think it is too pale for peace. Also it is too vigorous. I have two Peace roses and they barely grow here and just defoliate constantly. This rose seems stronger in nature. We will see what I do with it. It happens to be in one of my very few spots with full sun at the lake so unless it can super impress me it may have to go.

@rosecanadian Thank you Carol. You always bring joy in every comment :) Strawberry is a star in my garden. I love it. @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA Thank you Mas. My Strawberry Hill is 5 yrs old and grafted on Dr. Huey. @sbrklyn_7bny Thank you Stacy. Yes, Strawberry Hill is a vigorous climber, has average thorn and is easy to train. Helen
