1960 to be exact so it's just an older Hybrid Tea. Smiling

For hardiness zones, the minimum hardiness zones are listed first so for instance, a zone 6 means that rose will most likely survive winter temperatures of 0 to -10 degrees but not colder conditions. That info is based on the Plant Hardiness Zones system developed by the US Ag. Dept. So a given range just means it will grow fine anywhere within that range, pretty much most of them grow just as well if not better in warmer zones. For real warm zones, sometimes there are certain rose specifically developed for colder zones that may not thrive as well in warm zones without some winter chill dormant time and also some roses have very full petals and they may not open as well in high humid or real rainy season zones. (called balling) That is usually noted in various links. We find HelpMeFind.com to be helpful as many entries contain additional grower comments, not always though, especially for the more obscure roses..
