I saw it a lot in England and decided then that I wanted one. While I wouldn't call the flowers showy, they are quite pretty, if a bit fleeting. The color of the leaves goes well with the greener greens in a border. Some days it looks more red/purple than others. We've got ours in the back of a border with blue, purple, and white flowering perennials in front which I think looks nice.

"lms" wrote in message ... In article , Strange. I'm in zone 5 (Spokane WA) and mine has been thriving for about 12 years now. And we've had some pretty horrific winters here that have killed some other roses (like Dortmund). Strange, this is the first hardiness complaint I've ever heard about this rose, I consider it nails. It's from Kordes of Germany, who's known for tough roses not least of all. It's not rare for it to get below zero here but single digits are regular as the wind and the dust which hits Oklahoma ten hours after it blows through here. This is the first time I too have heard a hardiness complaint about Dortmund. In fact, Cornhill Nursery in zone 4, up here in N.B. Canada sells it, and they only sell the toughest roses. They do warn that it will suffer some die-back, but bounce back. Maybe the rose was suffering other problems and the cold finished it off. Laura |

I've never grown it
never tried it, on the other hand I've never seen it around here either. Climbers have to be particularly hardy to survive the once in 5 years -20F spell that hits us. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "R & L Porter" wrote in message ... "lms" wrote in message ...
