"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.
Aicha. 1966. Three-inch flowers—deep ocher-yellow fading to lighter tones, ten petals, semi-double. Buds long and pointed. This is a fairly new Spinosissima hybrid from Peterson in Denmark; it has a very strange reflowering habit in that it blooms in mid-June on old wood and then immediately reblooms on new wood, extending the spring flowering season from four weeks to six; then it doesn't bloom again until September. Its growth habit is also a bit unusual here in Nashua—budded on Canina laxa, the bush is ten feet high and six feet wide after three years. On its own roots, it's only four feet by three. And on Multiflora, it is six feet by four. All have survived with little or no dieback. (Note: bud unions are buried two inches below the ground.)

Celsiana. Damask. 1750. Light pink semi-double four-inch flowers showing beautiful golden stamens, in clusters of 3-5 blossoms. Bush to five feet, with slender graceful canes and gray-green leaves.

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).

Amanda Patenotte. 1844. Flowers dark rose (fuchsia), medium, full, globular, very old-fashioned in form, fragrant—in clusters of 3-5, repeats very well. This is the hardiest of the old Damask Perpetuals and really is perpetual, giving at least three flowerings a season (weather permitting). Bush large and spreading—three to four feet high and wide. Note: it is sold under various names ("Glendora Damask", "McGregor's Damask", etc.) in addition to the one above.
