| Does anyone know anything about this rose? The true hardiness zone (I've seen 5-10 and 6-9)? Degree of disease resistance (& to what) for it? Own root? |

| Just got my Edmund's catalog 2 days ago & EDI was featured on p.3. All of Edmund's roses are grafted on Dr. Huey unless the catalog's rose description specifically states they are own-root. EDI in their new catalog is on Dr. Huey & I suspect most other sources will be the same. |

| We got this rose in the spring & it did very well. It was grafted. It grew very nicely over the season, bloomed quite often & got very little BS (in a season where even the most disease resistant roses got BS). The colors were lovely & many visitors to our garden were drawn to it with a "WOW, what is that?" |

| This rose is growing in the city garden in my town (Roosevelt park in Longmont if anyone is interested...). I saw it at the end of the season and it was lovely. I don't recall it having any disease issues; will probably put one in next year, assuming the ones at Roosevelt make it through the winter (they aren't protected, so it should be good data.) Best,

| And what zone do you grow in, Dollsandroses. It is all about zone and meridian. |

I have been keeping an eye on some in a public garden this year and it looks good to me, but I am waaaay out of your zone.
Best to take advice from locals. |

| Lainey- I'm in zone 7 in New England. I don't think it'll have a problem wintering over. We do plant the bud unions 2" underground for extra protection. |

| Thanks Dollsand roses. I'm interesting in hearing more about this rose next year. |
