seil zone 6b MIUpdated I love a good experiment so I've tried this one myself. I found that some of the floaters did germinate and some of the sinkers didn't so I'd say plant them all for the best chance of success.

Mountie(6b)Updated What a beautiful fence! Roses will look wonderful growing there! David Austin's Harlow Carr is probably very winter hardy. Young David Austin favors it in his own yard.

cecily(7 VA)Updated Please wait until March or you'll worry yourself to death all winter over that rose. If it were bareroot (dormant) you could certainly plant it now but its awfully late in the season to plant a potted rose. The best solution IMHO ...
