Please tell me if you think R. roxburghii is likely to survive in my zone 5 garden. I'd like to try it.

I think Roxburghii has a chance, and I'll tell you why. If you go to the Rosa roxburghii f. normalis page and click on the gardens tab, you will see a list of the gardens where it is grown, including: Denver Botanical Garden, The Morton Arboretum outside Chicago and the Arnold Arboretum outside Boston. There is also a private garden in Colorado.
The Morton Arboretum is Zone 5b.
Denver Botanic Garden is Zone 5a
The Arnold Arboretum is Zone 6a (a very lush plant there).
Hygiene, Colorado is Zone 5b
Depending on your zone - - whether 5a or 5b, you have a decent chance of this rose surviving. It wouldn't hurt to give it a little protection for a few winters. Another safeguard is to buy it from a nursery that specializes in winter hardy roses.
Good luck.

I'm curious to know if you ever tried growing roxburghi and, if so, whether it survived? I am in central CT on the state line (5B) and have several roxburghii's that I would like to put in the ground.
