It is now three more years after my 2014 post and this trooper continues to survive in zone 5, comes back every year, including after the deep freeze of a few years back. I find it the most beautiful of floribundas in its color which I have seen. I may have one of the only plants left in North America and I hope to be able to make cuttings available this year. So far it has begun with strong growth from the crown.

I got this rose from Eurodesert when that nursery closed. It remains small, about 2' tall, but so far has survived three zone 5 winters, including last winter, and a trip across the country from CA to NY in the heat of summer. I imagine it would get taller in a warmer zone. The flowers are stunning, so far my favorite in the coral color.
