Sorry Zuzu! I just thought of Rosie because I am toying with buying that rose from K&M on fortuniana. My local Rose society strongly discouraged me from trying that rootstock, saying it isn't hardy, but I keep reading posts from gardeners in Tennessee and KY who swear it grows for them.
I also felt like giving Rosie a boost after hearing he-who-must-not-be-named rudely disparage her once again.
If I buy the K&M roses, I'll have to keep them in pots in the garage for this winter and plant them next spring.
