Going into year 3 with an own-root Scentimental in my Zone 5b garden. So far it has died back to the ground both winters and has never gotten more than six inches tall. The two or three blooms it has produced each year are spectacular, but I'm not sure I'm going to stay interested much longer if it doesn't thrive. I have higher hopes for the Whizzbang I just planted, which was bred for this area and is at least as beautiful if not more so.

I have to put in a vote for Heritage. It's my all-time favorite rose. I have an own-root here in Eastern Washington zone 5b that has been absolutely trouble-free for over 10 years. Five feet tall and almost as wide, with a massive spring display and reliable smaller flushes throughout the summer. Yes, the blooms shatter quickly and do not stand up to rain very well, but their scent and beauty more than make up for that, at least for me.
