This is a beautiful rose that's a little easier to grow than most of the florists roses. It is nevertheless more finicky than the average hybrid tea. I'd be wary of growing it in zone 6 because it doesn't even do that well in zone 9 without extra care. Luckily, it's usually available at very low prices as a body-bag rose at Home Depot and Lowe's. At those prices, you can plan to grow it as an annual and then be pleasantly surprised if it returns the next year.
