Is your 'Colorific' on own root or root stalk? For my heavy and acid soil that matters. Some hardy roses that thrive in the lighter western soils don't like my clay loam, "Hattie Burton" for example.

Do you mind my asking what part of Colorado you are in? I lived in the extreme northwest of CO until recently and would like to get Colorific for my new garden which isn't too different zone-wise from what I am used to, if it is likely to grow?
