| There was a thread earlier re Easy Elegance roses. This was my "Kiss Me" rose after being in the ground for 2 to 3 years. Sadly the polar winter killed it last year but I love this rose! Constantly blooming and smells so good! I found another one a couple of weeks ago. Last year it was in full bloom and froze solid in one of our early weird storms....was fine every other year :) |

| Nice! It is very hard to find nurseries that carry Ping Lim's roses where I live. I saw some of his roses in person in the botantical gardens in NYC, and would love to try a couple. This one would be on my radar. |

| There isn't a lot of information on the upper limits for these roses. Just how cold did it get to kill this one off? |

| Mad Gallica it was horrible lol! It did come back with one tiny cane this spring, and then died. We had multiple -16F days and windchills in excess of -20. It was in full bloom, freak storm came through with freezing rain in Nov? I think, and it was all downhill from there. I'm not sure if that's what did it in or not. Oddly enough, I lost an old shrubby Yew just down the patio from this rose that has withstood some horrible winters. I'm in NW Chicago burbs, and a lot of people lost well established, zone appropriate plants last year. I wouldn't hesitate to plant it again, I think last year was just an anomaly. |

I'm also in the NW suburbs of Chicago. I loved the Easy Elegance roses when they first came out. I had two young ones that died in the summer drought we had two years ago. They were guaranteed for two years and I did get my money back after I had to 'remind them' I was waiting. LOL
I had two o thers that came through our bad winter last year although one was not hurt at all and the other one is only about t wo inches high and never grew this summer. The good thing about these roses is that they don't seem to get any blackspot, but I'm not as crazy about them anymore. |
