UPDATE: Hott coco is winter hardy for zone 6 PA, but it stinks as a but flower, if you want cut flowers as i luv to do this rose is not for you. I will give it away to my neighbor this season and iam replacing both hot coco and about face. hot coco was a bareroot purchase. I had seen it while roses surfin the net, and thought it would make a great edition to my front landscaping. The coloring was so unusal, some say it is ugly, but I find it very beautiful. I cannot describe it exactly for many of the blooms have a slightance of color appearance. As H.C. buds began to open it looks very dark close to a coco coloring, as the bloom matures it turns a lighter crimson/coco mix with a yellow overtone. It is a very aggresive grower filling a pot 3times it size in a matter of 2months. Which was a 2ft high upright bushy rose, is now a monster of a plant at over 4ft. I thought I could leave it in the pot, but i must wait until dormancy and ground it. The super disease resistant dark green shinny thick foliage gives an eye catching display with cinnamon like color blooms. I have planted an ABOUT FACE next to it and they are magnificant together. I will update on the progress of its zone 6 winter.
