I think the first picture of this rose is incorrect, and the other two are correct. I have never seen a New Year rose with a striped petal. Is it possible this is the another rose? I've only seen the solid orange color.

All three are photos of the same plant.

I'm sure this rose is not a blessing. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a pest.

Until someone breeds "groundcover" roses which
- are thornless,
- don't root down (which excludes pretty well any with wichurana ancestry),
- suppress weeds (which in my climate means they have to be evergreen)
- and don't need deadheading (even with a golfclub) to keep them looking tolerable,
I'll use groundcovers which aren't roses.

Does anyone know how hardy this is or have any experience growing it in a container? Thanks

It's a fairly rambunctuous climber here. Seven to nine feet tall in one growing season.

It's pretty hardy. It survived a couple days of below zero temperatures here.

My Acapulco Sunset is in bush form, but it's about 8 feet tall.
