There are only two roses other than the Canadian roses that come to mind. Both were hybridized by Kordes. One is 'Illusion' and the other is 'Sympathy'. Both roses are supposed to be able to withstand cold temperatures. However, I have come to believe that growing roses in colder areas is always a lot of work based upon what I have read. I have not grown either of the roses above, but both have excellent reputations.

Hello, Anonymous in Minneapolis! As Lynn pointed out, there are the Canadian Explorer roses( try 'Henry Kelsing', 'William Baffin', John Cabot'- all pink or reddish in color and slightly fragrant-good to zone 2!! or, 'J.P Connell', a nice creamy yellow..) There is also a couple of other good ones too.Try 'Alchemist',a nice apricot color, good to zone3, or train a few of the rugosa type roses, if your growing area for climbing is not too high : 'Jens Munk',a pink ,taller shrub(another C.Exp..)that can be trained to go against something, 'Agnes' is a pale yellow shrub rugosa, and you might have some luck with 'Topaz' as well,as it,s got fairly long canes.Down your way, you might wish to peek at what varieties you can find in the Griffith Buck( Iowa) series. His roses are beautiful,fragrant,and hardy as well. None of these roses are particularly fussy, as they need little protection, no pesticides, and only some attention to thier nutrients once in awhile to see them do thier best. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, ( zone 5-6 ) and grow a few of these with much success. My mum is north of here, in North Bay (zone 4) and her roses are gorgeous, even with some light die-back. She does not protect hers. Good luck, and Happy growing! Lenage.
