seil zone 6b MIUpdated In zone 9 you shouldn't have to worry much. I'd put them in the warmest spot in your yard and they should be OK. Roses can take temps down to about 28 degrees without any damage.

nummykitchen(Z5B)Updated I would say the flowers are medium large/average for me in my mostly HT garden. The bush is not tall though more bushy and short.
