"Twenty of the Best Hardy Roses for Nurserymen Selling Roses in New Hampshire" by Mike Lowe
Almost all the once-flowering old garden roses are hardy in most areas of the state. The exception is north of the notches where winter protection is a must for all but the Spinosissimas and a very few others.
Here are the ten best once-flowering roses—in no particular order.
