Look up
books that have pictures of these roses. If you look you will see
they dont always agree on hardiness. But its good to read what
they have said in order to have greater insight into what you
choose. Most of these people experienced these roses in areas of
the world other than yours.
ROSE PHOTO BOOKS
The
prescence of a book on this list does not indicate that I agree
with the methods or information provided by the author. Its just
that they have a picture of the rose in question on the page
indicated. These books were chosen either because they were
already in my library, a picture was included that I'd had some
difficulty finding, or because I try to pick as diverse books as
possible not knowing what will be easily available to you where
you are. Each book has a little blurb by me at the end that you
might take as a short review.

removed to the ground on own root roses in order to promote the
growth of new canes (gallicas are best on their own roots). 1795
