Thanks Roseprose! Smiling

New: I'm having very good luck with Austin rose James Galway being cane hardy for me. That says a lot in my area. It's quite a prolific bloomer as well. Mine is about 5 ft. tall and has long arching canes, sort of fountain shaped.
I will post pics soon. In the mean time here's the pic and info from Austins website

James Galway (Auscrystal)

Category English Roses
(English Rose Collection)
Bred By David Austin
Color Lovely warm pink at the centre shading to pale pink at the edges.
Flower Type Double/Full Bloom
Size Medium Shrub
Short Climber

Hardiness Hardy
Fragrance Old Rose.
Medium
Repeating Good
Special Characteristics Strong, almost thornless, arching growth. Tightly arranged petals.

A superb, large shrub with long, slightly arching, almost thornless growth - typical of our 'Leander' group. The colour is a lovely warm pink at the centre, shading to pale pink at the edges.

This is a tough, disease-free rose that is excellent for the back of a mixed border and can be trained into a wonderful short cimber. The flowers are large and full, with many petals arranged in a neat formation.

There is a delicious Old Rose fragrance.
