Morden Sunrise is one of my favorite hardy shrubs. It has such a beautiful, simple blossom; Sunrise was a very apt name. There are a few issues that you should know before you chose this cultivar:

1) In the twin cities area of MN we have a species of blackspot that defoliates Morden Sunrise before any of my other roses. In fact, it acts as an early indicator plant for the garden. Depending on your area of the country, you may have to spray diligently to keep any of the beautiful dark green foliage after July.

2) Though Morden Sunrise is definitely crown hardy in zone 4, in 3 winters not a single cane survived the winter; however this cultivar is very vigorous and threw surprisingly thick canes and was in bloom with the rest of the garden, so don't panic in the spring if you have to prune to the ground.

Chicago Peace is the Queen of Roses: the bloom so big and gorgeous that it's a centerpiece in any garden. One drawback: it's quite thorny, but the bush is compact so the risk is low.

Not sure why only Fair+ rating. Mine from High Country roses is doing exceptionally well in zone 5a-upper midwest-NE Iowa. Made it through zone 5a winter extremely well (with surviving cane) for a grandiflora that was a very small plant planted late last season and is leafing out with vigor this spring. Can't comment on rebloom yet. This is a fragranced rose to my nose-spicy fruity!! High Country roses rates it as having spicy fruity moderate-strong fragrance also. Appears vigorous on its own roots.
