Oh yes. I believe the rose is hardy to even zone 4! Oh fragrance to boot! Wonderful Rose for its profound true old rose fragrance. Fabulous way to get a great garden up and running. This is still my first David Austin Rose. But oh, the fragrance and hardiness is exactly why I chose it out of all of the roses I worked with at a summer plant nursery job. I am so glad I made the purchase now that it has a wonderful home. Remember, use a mulch around your Roses. Green (living) mulch is what I use, such as any groundcover under six inches will do fabulous! Keeps roses very happy year round. Happy Gardening!

A friend has just gifted me this rose. Does anyone have any knowledge of its shade-tolerance?
I'll just answer that. In the David Austin Handbook of Roses 1st Australian Edition, it stipulates the location for most of the roses as "Full sun, partial shade".

It is relatively shade tolerant, but then needs many years to settle!

Is the zone info for this rose correct?

Because many of the Austin roses have been crossed with the hardy old garden ones, many will survive up to zone 5 but zone 6 with protection, would insure they will definately survive.

This rose are grown in the mildest parts of Norway in minus 10 to 15 celcius. So it can take that at lest.

This rose continuously blooms all summer in my Eugene, OR garden. As far as hardiness is concerned, we did have some freezing temperatures last winter, but I'm still in zone 8. I mounded some rose planting mix around the rose's base, and it did just fine.
