Oct 2010 I visited Regan's Nursery in Fremont,CA just to view the 2010 Survivors! My thinking is that any rose looking reasonable at this late stage of a cool/sunless year, must surely be worth growing! Ch & Cr was one that fit my bill, as it had numberous roses that were attractive and more buds coming.

How does this rose do in the cold (zone 4 or 5 hardy)?

A very stringy rose in growth. Almost like a climber. The blooms are hardly worth the trouble of planting this rose as they are short live, and the color is disappointing. This rose will be replaced next spring.
