When I lived in NJ I grew both New Dawn and r. glauca. Both are definitely survivors. Sometimes the leaves of r. glauca are not so much red as green with a purplish cast, but the color looks really great with the pink single flowers. The plant is a natural for a mixed border. I had sedum autumn joy and the explorer rose Champlain growing happily in the same bed.
New Dawn can get big, fast. And it can be lanky. I grew three on a lattice against a south-facing wall and they were very happy there. Then I moved them out into the garden where they got some shade and they did just OK.
