Some sources say Lady of Shalott is hardy to zone 4. Others say it's only to zone 5. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried growing it in colder regions.

I'd say that reports of her hardiness are greatly exaggerated. Here in Zone 5b, an average winter will kill back 'Lady of Shalott' almost to the ground. That said, it *will* rally and produce blooms.

Does any place sell this rose in the United States?

Never have seen it here. Why?

It looks beautiful in the photos, I was hoping to find a nursery that carries it in the US to buy one, but I can't find it anywhere.

Peter Schneider, at Freedom Gardens, grows a number of Tantau roses, though I don't know if this is among them. He may be able to custom-propagate it for you, perhaps?

Thank you, I checked with him and he doesn't offer Pastella but I was able to order another beautiful Tantau rose (Mariatheresia) from him.

Will Mr. Schneider ship your rose, or do you need to travel to Ohio to pick it up?

He ships roses (in my area I received them in November) but it can be a long wait for a custom propagation order.

There's an Italian company that ships bareroot roses to the US which has it. The website is en.roses.it. You have to email them to set up the shipment, but I know someone who has ordered from them and said they were very accommodating and easy to work with.

Nope! That company “tried” to ship to the US, but Customs has shut them down now. 6 shipments got confiscated in Cincinnati last week. (Ask me how I know, lol!)

Hi, does anyone have experience growing this as a climber in shade? I’ve got a spot that gets 4-6 hours of AM sun per day. Thank you!

Mine gets about 5 hours of morning sun (being near the northeast corner of my house), and is perfectly content. Rebloom will be better if you deadhead, but it sets such nice hips that I'm conflicted...

i grow james galway in the twin cities (z4/5) and i would say there is ample anecdotal evidence posted online that it is hardier than zone 6b, including on the david austin website which rates it to zone 4.

What is your opinion of JG? Do you recommend it for cold climate gardens? Can it tolerate heavy soil?

it's hard for me to say as i've only had it one year. the first year it was vigorous and flowered all season, throwing canes up to about two feet. it's near a waterspout and did get some blackspot during a period of heavy rain. i'll report back as it grows in the next several years. anecdotally, there are many posts online attesting that it does well in z5, and some nice pics of bigger plants.

I can attest that it handles Zone 5b winters well enough that it is a true climber here -- unlike many of the other Austin "climbers" that will only get big enough to be shrubs in this climate. Our soil is fairly heavy clay-loam, and James seems to manage that just fine.

a great rose after this season. flowered many times, no blackspot, grew to about 4 feet. if it remains winter hardy i can recommend it for cold zones.
