Judy,

I missed your original post, but are you writing that you tried to grow 
Maiden's Blush and it wasn't hardy enough?  I have been growing it here 
for about 5 years in north central Illinois, just a few miles from 
Wisconsin.  It never has *any* winter dieback.  It does grow slowly to 
start out.  It's biggest problem(s) are insects, leafrollers and probably 
thrips.  It's initial growth and bud formation here seem to coincide with 
these insect's feeding season and I can't get one good bloom with 
spraying.
