I've had this rose for 2 seasons now and it's just amazing. Hardy, extremely healthy, and moderately fragrant. This rose blooms continuously and each bloom goes through many color changes. Out of 120+ roses in my garden this one easily makes my top 5 list.

Thinking back to last summer I'd say my top 5 favorites were (in no particular order):
All the Rage
Crocus Rose
Dakota Song
Quietness
Charles de Mills (or Tuscany Superb)

These roses have all done exceptionally well in my zone 4 garden, are quite healthy, and don't require extensive care to survive winter. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of them to my cold zone gardening friends.

It would be much better if your used the ADD TO MY FAVORITES button to vote for these roses - that's exactly what it's for. Thanks.

Thank you, Laura! I have All the Rage and Dakota's Song, but not the others on your list. I'm in Zone 3b. Always looking for new roses to try.

I've had Kashmir for 2 years now and I have to say this one is just awesome. The blooms are very much hybrid tea like and last for a long time on the shrub. It has been very healthy so far - never a speck of disease on any of the leaves, came through a zone 4 winter with a good 6" of live cane, and bounced back quickly in the spring. Mine has been blooming continuously for the last month and there are still more buds waiting to open. The only thing missing from this beauty is a fragrance.
