HmF has this as hardy to 7b, but it did fine over a standard 6b winter for me. I did some winter protection with a few inches of mounded compost, and we had a fair bit of snow cover over the coldest snaps. I purchased it from Heirloom Roses, which lists it as hardy to zone 5.

I got mine a few months ago from Heirloom Roses and it has grown about two feet since then. I grow them up in a five gallon pot of rose soil. My first bloom was pink with a white reverse and fragrant but didn't last long in a vase. In cool wet Fall weather the bud doesn't open. The plant is healthy but I wish it would bloom more.

Amazing Grace can be beautiful in warm, dry weather. Packed with petals and fantastic fragrance. However, in rainy, humid conditions, the blooms won't open. Foliage is beautiful. The plant I have is grafted onto fortuniana rootstock.

Mine are own-root and still struggle to open in humid conditions. They are wonderful if the weather conditions are just right and are always blooming though. I'm thinking of moving them to full sun (over 100 F common) instead of where they are with a few hours of shade break in the afternoon before getting sun again. It seems a shame to potentially fry the blooms but rotting unopened ones are a problem too! If I have time, they can be teased open if I catch them in time.
