hardy red rose
I've read that the following roses are hardy in Zone 4 and relatively
disease-free. Are they? They a Brigadoon, Fragrant Cloud, Ingrid Bergman, Kardinal, Cherish, Iceberg, Playboy, Sexy Rexy, Bonica. What experience have rose-growers had with them? Can anyone add more hybrid teas that qualify for the list? |

Not all zone 4 locations are the same, but I can tell you that there are no Hybrid Tea roses that are hardy in Minnesota zone 4a without winter protection of some kind unless they are in some fortunate microclimate. Ingrid Bergman and Kardinal will do well here with winter protection. Another red HT that recovers well is Olympiad. Iceberg, Playboy, and Sexy Rexy are good Floribunda roses for the north, but they also require winter protection. Bonica is a shrub rose that will die back in my zone 4, but grows well here. It also needs at least a little extra mulch over the crown in case of a serious winter. I am not familiar with Cherish or Brigadooon. People in the warmer parts of zone 4 such as North Iowa and north Illinois have reported that they can grow HT's without winter protection by planting the bud union 4 or more inches deep. Maybe. Some of the Buck Roses do well here, such as: Carefree Beauty, Praire Harvest, Earthsong, Aunt Honey and others. Some of the roses from Canada are useful. Winnepeg Parks is trouble free here. All HT's need spraying or they will spot and/or mildew. However , You may luck out and plant a variety that is resistant to the particular strain of disease that is in your area. A particular variety of HT may be quite healthy for one gardener and lose all its leaves for another. Regards, Charles -- Charles Perry Reply to: ** A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand ** |

It's kind of wispy, I would not expect it to be very cold tolerant. JimS. Seattle |

Some of the Buck Roses do able-bodied here, such as: Carefree Beauty, Praire Harvest, Earthsong, Aunt Honey and others. Some of the roses from Canada are useful. Winnepeg Parks is agitation free here.
