I live in Huntsville AL, zone 7a. Very fortunate, it gets cold enough here for most dormants to do well, but does not stay too cold for long so most evergreens like it here too.
Another one that I like is Pinhill Claret Symphony (Lefkovits, 2004)
height 45in (114cm), bloom 6.5in (16.5cm), season VLa, Dormant, Tetraploid, 30 buds, 4 branches, Claret with darker eye above pumpkin throat. (Christmas Day × Quaker Gown)
