Dr. Brownell roses are a little hardier than most hybrid teas but not hardy enough to grow in zone three. Zone 5 would be the coldest they would survive in.

Its simply a branding from back then when hybrid teas were more finicky. So they set out to introduce Rosa wichurana in them to broaden the amount of places they could be grown. Can many of them live at or below 0F? Probably. To what extent is highly variable per cultivar. But they are still from Rosa wichurana and not Rosa acicularis or similar, which are native to much colder biomes than Rosa wichurana is.

I purchased four fragrant roses from Jackson&Perkins about 8 years or so ago. The roses were sold together, and one was French Perfume, which I loved, two were English Roses and the last one was a dark pink almost fuchia colored rose that was beautiful and smelled terrific. I don't know what this rose was called. I no longer have these roses since I moved, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a gorgeous dark pink rose that smells wonderful--that can carry a scent when you walk past it and also that can fill a room with it's wonderful scent when it is cut.

The McCartney Rose is not a dark pink but a medium mauve pink and it has one of the strongest scents of the hybrid teas. It has also won many medals for it's fragrance.

Mine were very prone to rust, zone 10b, southern California. Loved the blooms--perfection. Finally shovel pruned my two McCartney roses as I couldn't beat the rust.

I particulary like the Double Delight Rose. It is two toned, dark pink to white but it has a beautiful fragrance. I bring them to the office to sit on my desk for everyone to enjoy....

This year I noticed a strong scent wafting from my 2-year-old bush - but it was still in bud, at least 10 days before the first one even opened! Tangy and fruity, the buds themselves actually emanate a very strong fragrance that would do lots of other roses proud - even without touching or rubbing the buds (like you might with a moss rose, for example). Quite unique, in my garden at least! The blossoms themselves have a different smell altogether, can't quite put my finger on it - kind of a soapy-clean scent...

This is the beauty and uniqueness of Polareis. I wish the rose books would mentioned the strong scent of the buds as it gives the gardener an extra long time to enjoy this rose.

I just smelled these fragrant buds for the first time myself. This is on a recently planted Polareis which arrived as a bareroot from Pickering this year in March. The strength of this fragrance is really remarkable, and it is indeed the buds only as no flower has yet opened. I am having trouble placing the fruit smell though. I've smelled it before, but I can't think of which fruit has this scent. Nothing common like orange, lemon, grapefruit, plum, or apricot. So rose experts, what is your opinion?

Not only the buds but the foliage itself is highly scented as with sweetbriars. Some sort of pine forest smell. Very conspicuous

This is such a lovely rose but does anyone know the coldest zone it can survive in?

Summer Wine should be okay in zone 5 with good winter protection.
