This rose was under 3+ inches of bark and didn't make it through a zone 5 winter roses two foot to the right and left did so I'm not buying the Zone2...

Agree with you on HMF's wrong info. of hardy to zone 2b, which costs cold-zoners like us $$, considering that each own-root rose costs $25 to $40. I lost over $1,000 for the past decades of roses dying through my zone 5a winter, either through wrong info. about hardiness, or the weather itself. That's why I post in HMF to help other cold-zoners, and I appreciate your info. (NorthWestRider) as to which roses survived your zone 5b. Many thanks.

That was clearly incorrect information. I do not know many roses which can survive Zone 2! Thank you for pointing it out. Meilland roses are generally good for Zone 7b and above.
If you see other obvious errors, please shout!

Princess Alexandra of Kent (PAK) is listed by HMF as hardy to zone 2b. A Wisconsin zone 5b grower bought that as own-root and it died on her first winter. For Meilland roses, only Tchaikovsky (very disease-resistant), Bolero, Sweet Promise 2007, and Betty White survived more than three zone 5a winters. Liv Tyler and Frederic Mistral died on me after a few winters. Link to PAK:

There are several gardens in 4a and 4b where PAK seems to be growing in Europe. I know that in Russia they have very extensive winter protection with tunnels etc. The comments say that there is a case where PAK has survived 4b colds in USA, too. 5b is probably all right.

Canyon Road and a few others are bred out of Prairie Princess and Red Max Graf. Unsure how hardy of them truly are. I can only test for cold snap resistance, since we do not go below 0F here. Sometimes I can see root hardiness if I leave them in a grow-out pot over winter. Its a great way to weed out seedlings for cold sensitivity (note to breeders... lol), but not practical for the purposes of Canadian rosarians and the like.

Hi! Can you share any information about what you do for winter protection? Also what soil type you have JJ planted in and how you fertilize, spray, etc? I want to try some zone pushing experiments next spring and I would love to be able to grow Joey if at all possible! Thanks!
