Re: Climbing roses
Hope you all dont mind my mentioning that Wayside,
(I have no association with them) lists ,New Dawn,but rates it at Zone 5.
Perhaps within a micro climate of your yard? or maybe, it is more zone tolerant than
stated.
They tend to opt to the conservative side where it comes to hardiness ratings.
Dainty in appearance (cat.pic.)and yes they indicate that it is very disease
resistant,blooming early summer to frost,according to Cat.
Hope this helped a little,list folk have been so nice to me when I had questions,I
wanted to give at least something in return.
