Some sources say Lady of Shalott is hardy to zone 4. Others say it's only to zone 5. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried growing it in colder regions.

I'd say that reports of her hardiness are greatly exaggerated. Here in Zone 5b, an average winter will kill back 'Lady of Shalott' almost to the ground. That said, it *will* rally and produce blooms.

Scent is not strong, but is absolutely incredible, like cream and vanilla.

Can you add any information regarding hardiness?
Thanks, Robert

The tag claimed zone 3, but you know how it is: you never know until you try them. I have microclimates ranging from 2b to 4a or so. I might pick up a couple more of this cultivar and put them in varying locations, and then report back next spring.

Cameras don't seem to be able to capture the colour of this rose properly. Photos make it look like an average flat rose pink with white undertones, but that's not true to life, and it's unfortunate. In person it is vivid to the point of being striking - people can't help but stare.

Takes a long time to get established; be prepared to wait a couple of years. Absolutely wicked thorns, worse than any Pavement rugosa. Susceptible to black spot, but handles drought well. Gorgeous colour.
