Does anyone have experience with Thusnelda in Zone 4 or 5? I'm curious to know how hardy it is since it's just listed as the default.

In the Rosen-Zeitung of 1890 Dr. Müller, the breeder of Thusnelda
writes:
"... this cultivar [R. rugosa alba] got my attention and I decided to try
to breed hybrids of it. Unfortunately I did not succeed in pollinating it.
So finally I decided to use its pollen [that of R. rugosa alba] to
inseminate other roses. For that I chose Gloire de 'Dijon. ... This finally
succeded in the third year, bringing up two seedlings." [Rosen-Zeitung
1890, p.28)
Dr. Müller called them seedling A and B.
Seedling A finally went into commerce as 'Thusnelda' in 1891 [R-Z, p.13]
