This rose does very well in zone 6b too! It survived with flying colours some bad winters with temps as low as -20°C! In the description is mentioned 7b through 10b.

Thanks for that, Jay-Jay . I saw zone 7B in the description and decided not to grow this, I'm in 6B. Now I'll give it a try.
My zone 7 roses froze this past winter. Deader than dead. Thanks again.

You're welcome Kysusan
Did You take a look at my photos of this rose that winter 2011-2012 + description?
We had a very warm winter that year (and still some roses had flowers) until the end of January and suddenly the temps plummeted. And a very cold period followed with low temps, lots of sun and no snow-cover.
...Then see the photos from February and how it recovered later that year.
PS: How is Your new garden doing? I only saw a photo of a barren field until now.

Jay-Jay, transforming nicely, thank you. It's more like a farming operation than garden, about 80 so far.

Looking good... a good start for a real garden instead of "farmland".
It might need some height(backbone): (fruit-)trees and shrubs maybe?

As the song says - "Trees are good, trees are good".
The garden is off to a good start by the look of it, but some variation in height and form is always nice, as is a bit of shade here and there. Unless, for some reason, you are after a rose specimen garden only.
The other good thing about trees is they can make good windbreaks for your roses. My block is too open at the moment (trees are currently babies) and I've had several roses end up on their ears.

I'm not familiar with that song... will look it up.
The surroundings look(flat), as if the roses might need some windshield.
Good luck and happy labor!
