Some sources say Lady of Shalott is hardy to zone 4. Others say it's only to zone 5. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried growing it in colder regions.
I'd say that reports of her hardiness are greatly exaggerated. Here in Zone 5b, an average winter will kill back 'Lady of Shalott' almost to the ground. That said, it *will* rally and produce blooms.
yep, i have three, one grafted, one own-root. they took winterkill in a milder winter and were absolutely pummeled in a colder one. as of today i wouldn't recommend it as a cold weather rose. winchester cathedral, st swithun, wollerton old hall, and crown princess margereta are my recommended cold weather austins.
I have had lady of shallot for one year—I hardly saw 3 roses bloom (I am in Zone 9b). And I feel the canes are also thin when compared to the other roses that I bought from David Austin Roses. so I don't prefer in my zone and in your zone as well. If there are any successful stories, happy to year and implement the changes
