Is zone 5 too cold for Russell's Cottage Rose?

Russell's Cottage rose should do okay in zone 5 as one of it's parents is rosa setigera, which is a very cold hardy rose.

Zone 5 is an interesting one because depending where you garden, you can often push the zone limit. Here is a list of climbers that are hardy, have good disease resistance, vigorous but not all have a fragrance.
White Cap and Ilse Krohn Superior are the best of the white.
New Dwn or it's sport Awakening good for a pale pink.
Rosarium Uteresen for those that love a hpt pink.
William Baffin is an unusual strawberry pink.
Dublin Bay a good deep red but it does take time to become a climber.
Leverkusen is a semi double yellow but in some areas does get black spot which it ignores
Salita is a deep orange.
Westerland is a semi double shaded amber and red.
All of these are vigorous, have good disease resistance and should cause you no problems.

I live in Central Iowa and looking for a new climber to replace a pink climber lost to Rose Rosette Disease. I have a number of climbers, but this one will be in the most prominent spot. It needs to be shade tolerant. I want the longest bloom possible. The one I had was a once a season bloomer and while it was spectacular for 3 weeks, that was it. I do not want red or orange. I thought what I read about Leverkusen was of interest, but comment above on this site was not promising.
I also grow William Baffin, Uterson, Cornelia, New Dawn, Darlow's Enigma, Autumn Sunset, and a number of miniature climbers.
After this winter, I wonder if a zone 4 might be better! The one I had was a zone 4.

Plant a repeat blooming clematis with your rose to extend the bloom season of the planting. I do this a lot and like that it also adds more leafy cover to the whole scheme, as even roses that resist all disease are still a tad shy in the leaf cover department. I like the clematis Bluebird, but there are many others that look great with certain color roses. I usually go with the blues and violets.

Don't know if you are stil looking for a hardy pink climbing rose but I would suggest 'Viking Queen'. It has large blooms in clusters up to 5 or 6 and blooms all summer long. It does extremely well here in Des Moines. I have given it winter coverage before, but have stopped because it doesn't need it. It and 'Rhode Island Red' are my two most hardy roses at the present time.

I am looking for a climbing rose that needs to be shade tolerant. Live in Zone 5, Central Iowa. Actually prefer Zone 4 climbers. I've read about lots of them, but have questions about Leverkusen and Ilse Krohn Superior. I've seen both rated zone 4, but have seen them rated 5 as well. Both seem to require deadheading, which is difficult with a climber. Disease resistance is important. Fragrance less important. I want one that blooms as long as possible as this will be in a prominent spot and viewed from the street 20-30' away. I had a once bloomer there previously that was removed for Rose Rosette Disease. So, will want one on own root. Do not want a strong pink, like Uterson, or red or orange. Unfortunately, many of the zone 4 roses are red. I'd like to hear your comments and experiences about these 2 and if you have suggestions for other roses. I grow New Dawn, which died back some last year and will again with the hard winter we have this winter, William Baffin, Uterson, Cornelia, Autumn Sunset, Darlow's Enigma and a number of miniature climbers. I have Zepehrin Drouhin but it does not do well. Doesn't seem to die back, but not thrifty. Will move this year to give it one more chance.
