I've admired this 1804 Tea-Noisette for many years. It is supposed to be one of the more easier to grow Noisettes. Reports I've read give it high ratings for disease resistence, remontancy (ability to rebloom), vigor, graceful growth habit, and just overall garden worthiness. The small ivory blushed apricot yellow flowers look very pretty and are supposed to be fragrant. I, however, live in USDA Zone 6b. Has anybody grown this rose successfully without winter protection in my climate zone? Would also love to read about ADAM (1838 apricot-pink climbing Tea). Thank you ~ Patrick

Hi, Patrick. Yes, I have (am growing) ASG in zone 6b right now. This is one of my favorite roses for all the reasons you mention. He is so beautiful, blooms vigorously during the long, hot, hard northeastern Oklahoma summer, and the cold (but short) winter here is no problem for him. Good luck and enjoy.
