I ended up getting some rust again last year late in the summer, but not from him. I had a couple other sources that would have been more likely as to where it came from. Luckily in Iowa our winter kills it - and if this winter doesn't kill it nothing will!!!
LarryR on here has a list of Evergreens that survive in our zone, 5b. I like to check there before I order evergreens, and he's always expanding the list.
