Steve812 said: I don't have much need of zone 4 cold hardiness in roses, but I'm thinking maybe Joanne might. I think you will find that a number of the rugosa-acicularis hybrids developed in Canada are rated at HMF to zone 2b. William Baffin, for example. I did not check my recommendations against HMF hardiness listings, though.

There is only so much room in my city garden! I have approximately 80 different roses. I have most of the Explorer & Parkland series. Haven't bought any of the New Canadian Artist series, but "Campfire" is on my wish list.

What I would like to do though, is plant more roses at our farm. Problem there is that it gets colder than -40 in the winter. Zone 2, possibly Zone 1A. Also, we only go the the farm once a month, so the plants are totally reliant on Mother Nature for water
