"Twenty of the Best Hardy Roses for Nurserymen Selling Roses in New Hampshire" by Mike Lowe
The following are ten of the best repeat-flowering roses. Keep in mind that most miniature and Rugosa roses are very hardy.
Morden Cardinette. 1980. Shrub Explorer Series. Flowers cardinal red, double (25 petals) in clusters of five to fifteen, only slightly fragrant. Bush small, compact—three by three feet. Excellent for small garden. I've had this six years—needs no protection (at temperatures of -35F, tips do die back).
