How does this rose fare in cooler humid weather, or HOT humid weather? I see that it's fine in hot dry areas.
I'm in zone 5b where we get it all, and snow cover is not reliable.
I checked on J/P's website, they are not listing it currently.

grntrz, I have this rose in my garden in MI and it has wintered very well, with and without protection. It isn't the most vigorous rose in my garden but it has hung in there since it's introduction in 2006. It's very short at between 2 and 3 feet tall and it is slower to repeat and usually only gives me 3 flushes a season. It also will black spot for me. Humidity does not bother it as the blooms always open no matter how hot and humid it is. Blooms are about 3 inches in size, lovely shades of apricot but are not fragrant.

Seil, thank you, it's good to know it does open with humidity-and the blooms are of some size in the hot part of summer. As for fragrance, I guess that's up to our genes! My husband can smell Tea roses, and so maybe this one has some of those notes in it as well.

My Sisters At Heart rose has just started climbing my Maiten tree. It is in bloom now and has a lot of buds on it. Such a hardy rose.

sisters at heart does great in the cool foggy weather of San Francisco if that is helpful to know.

That being the case, it would also be helpful to know the lineage.

Not thornless, I had a mother plant that had only one slender cane left, not a very hardy rose.

The collection at Washington Park left the same impression: low vigor.
It wasn't very tall, which was a plus for that era, and the color is a nice old gold, which I found really cool. It also had substance that was rare for that era.
It did have some prickles, and not a lot of foliage. It wasn't disease riddled like the local Crimson Glory and some others, but it the foliage wasn't pretty or abundant, either.

I saw it in October at Washington Park a couple of years ago and it did not have many petals. I wasn't sure if it was the GS.

Survived the 4b winter of 2013. But it is not doing so well after two years of drought. We will see what happens in spring 2016, It is a once blooming rose. And that nice photo, it has only been beautiful that one time.

I have added a description from a Russian author. It is from a German translation, but Google translate works pretty well.

Vintage Gardens lists Rosa sericea omeiensis with a description that it's "canes are covered with a dense coating of soft bristles". If you look under HMF listing for R. Sericea omeiensis you will find an R. Sericea var. denudata that seems to be the same plant, with a light linseed scent.

The variety denudata should be mostly free of bristles and prickles.
R. sericea var. sericea has slender green pedicels.
R. sericea var. omeiensis has pedicels that are fleshy and red.
