Hi Everyone
Just wanted to draw your attention to a probable typo in the Description of the HP rose, Marchioness of Lorne - Zone 4a through 5b ??

What should it be, please Elizabeth?

Thank you for the thumbs up - 4a to 5b would have been very unusual for a rose!

I'm sitting beside a vase with a single bloom from a 2nd year plant of Marchioness of Lorne and practically swooning from the fragrance. I received it as a small band last April and the first blooms in the fall were equally strongly fragrant. I live near the ocean, in northern California where the humidity runs between 70% and 100%, and the temperatures seldom rise above the 60's (F), so can't comment on what effect dryer, warmer air would have. Also, this rose seems quite happy with Zone 9b. Can't imagine why it wouldn't go higher than that, but I believe the Description zone rating could very safely go up to 9b.

Thank you, all HMF'rs!

The climate zone info was definitely an error - we have corrected it. Thank you for the thumbs up!

We have one of these that we bought at our club's spring auction. It was at least three years old, had been shovel pruned and hacked back pretty good, but has recovered well and is showing some nice, fragrant blooms. We're in Spokane, WA, zone 5b.

update 5/15/11: I think the zone rating is off: "USDA zone 4a through 5b." I assume this rose can tolerate warmer zones. :)

Also, this last winter whacked it pretty good. We pruned it pretty much down to the ground, but it's coming back.
