Neal, I have to agree with the list Cliftoncat gave. I grow those same roses and they really do stay pretty healthy here. I've had no problems with my Jubilee Celebration either. It is one of the few that I purchased locally full price because I wanted it so badly. It did get a good mulch covering last winter. Austin roses used to be my go-to place for Austin roses...but no more. Regan had everything I wanted for less money.
I have 3 plants of Christopher Marlow because I love it so much. The color is changeable, and those full full blooms are just so intricate. Lady of Shalott has vivid color and the blooms last weeks! Claire Austin has rich perfume. and I'm buying more of that one just for the perfume. Tamora and Pat Austin have been with me for at least 12 years, and both were uprooted in mid summer to move to this house 9 years ago. They still are vigorous bushes! I thought I had lost Pat this spring because of our early freeze last winter, so I bought another, but the original came back in full force once she saw she had competition!
Somewhere, I have a long list of the Austins I grow but right now I am just not organized enough to find it. We had a technology disaster and had to replace computers, tablets and phones and I can't find nuttin.
