Hardiness to 4b?
Are we sure about that? I do see that it is a fourth, or would that be eighth, setigira through 'Goldilocks' but even so, 4b seems a bit of a stretch.
The color change phenomenon comes from the Chinas, do I have that right? Which would lead me to suppose it is a warm climate rose or am I missing something?

It was a very popular and easily grown rose in the U.K. Zones 6 to 7. You can see the colour changing abilities in China roses like ‘Archduc Charles’ and ‘Mutabilis’.

It was also popular in the US. Zone 6 I can believe, but 4b I would consider doubtful.

Yes seems a bit much, although with Rosa setigera on its mother’s side, it does have some hardiness genes in its ancestry.

I tried this rose in 2011 and kept it alive barely until 2017. It almost never bloomed and did not thrive in 4b. It behaved more like a zone 6.

The contrasting and ever-changing colors of Masquerade would seem to make for a nice effect in the garden. Shame it's not more widely available in North America. Does anyone know of any other sources aside from those listed?

These three pictures are all of the same bloom taken roughly one apart between pictures. It show the color shift demonstrated by this rose as it turns from golden yellow, to apricot, to darp pink. It is found in the parentage of many of the roses grown today, including an All American Rose Selecion winner for 2002. Do you know which one? Hint: " Shsssssssssss " It's a a Fourth Generation Offspring.
