I have three of these. All own root. All 3 survived winter just fine here in zone 6b. (even the tiny one I rescued from my old house in SC, that had been mowed and moved in the middle of summer) With no protection. Dingo has told me Belinda's Dream survives in Chicago just fine as well. (Zone 5) This is a tough rose for me, and I'm no expert rose grower. Maybe it's a 5b iffy rose, but it definitely doesn't need zone 7 warmth. I would plant it if I lived in 5b and wanted it.

I have Belinda’s Dream both grafted and own root. They both die back to the ground every year, but bounce back pretty quickly. Good bloomer, nice repeat, planted in full sun most of the day. Stays clean for me here.

Dingo you are correct. Everywhere I had to cut is shooting up like mad. I think it's just so vigorous that it doesn't matter if the canes die back. As long as it's own root, or bud union is buried well, you're good to go. I don't favorite pinks usually, but I can say it's a favorite. No disease, and if bugs get on it, I never noticed. I didn't spray it with anything, and it was my largest first year own root of all time by fall.
