We have found Simpicity Roses to be both very hardy and an excellent 
season long bloomer here in Southwestern Michigan, Zone 5.  They can be 
very attractive.  We have used them successfully along walks, drives, 
pathways, and along small fences.  Since you are only purchasing 6 plants 
we assume you have only a small area of fence line, 8-10 feet long. We 
would not say that they offer much screening and after 4 seasons none of 
the ones we have used are anywhere near the height of your fence.

If it is privacy you want there are some better roses.  If it is the 
blooming feature you like about the Simplcity then use them in 
combination with some other varieties.  Some of the newer shrub roses 
could provide a backdrop for the Simplcity.
