April 2019
Not "rock" hardy but impressive first winter performance. Wrapped in late fall with burlap to protect from deer and rabbits. Burlap also provides wind protection but not cold. February's average daily temperature was -18C (-0F), and with no days at, or above 0C. Some die back on upper thin canes (16 inches+), 30inch+ of good cane with lower 24 inches 1/3 leafed out at bud nodes by end of April. Not bad hardiness performance for a young plant especially through a rough February. High hopes remain for longer term hardiness performance as these good first winter characteristics has been seen before with other nearly hardy roses for Canadian one 3A-4A. Late Fall 2018 First year performance in zone 4a (rating recently moved from 3a) Canadian Rocky Mountain Foothills holds high hopes potential to be the first true red climber in my garden (a.k.a. rambler using single bloom period definition) if "cane hardy" to 60 to 80% (personal criteria). Rated 3 a. Though too early for specific garden performance it did achieve a 6 foot+ height, excellent branching and bloomed (2) in first year. From Cornhill Nursery's "Canadian and other regions" hybridized heritage rose offerings. Exciting find this season.
