Anyone grow this rose own-root that can give some feedback on its performance and how easily it struck?

A very healthy and the best continuously flowering (with an early start!) rose in our garden of the year 2011 (of extremes qua climate). Today, after a long period of rain, it's still covered with flowers and a lot of new rosebuds, to continue until frost.
Has a very long vase-life. One of my favourites. The fragrance is moderate and a bit like soap.

In the description it says this rose is for zones 7b or warmer. I believe the Botania's Rose Book states it as 4b-9b. I am in zone 6 and this rose does wonderfully. Which zone is correct?

Botanica seems correct, as a number of gardens in zones 4a and b have this rose.

We got Ingrid Bergman in 1998. I am partial to reds but I had heard she was scentless so I avoided her. The Ingrid Bergman we saw at the nursery was so healthy and the foliage looked so good she had to come home with us. When Ingrid bloomed, I was surprised by the nice moderate fragrance. I thought perhaps we had a mismarked rose and began checking other gardens for Ingrid Bergman. All in our area smell pretty good. Ingrid Bergman has been bulletproof for us. When visitors ask about red roses in this area she is the one I advise them to try. We have had many people come back to thank us for recommending her.
Ingrid Bergman gets 4 feet tall and wide here. Foliage is thick and healthy. She gives us 40 - 50+ blooms per flush. Turnaround time is average, about 6 weeks. Bloom life is incredible. Blooms look nice on the bush for 2 weeks or more. Deb cuts a lot of them for bouquets and vase life is well over a week.
Blackspot is not a problem here. Have never seen powdery mildew on Ingrid. Excellent rose that I seem to take for granted. I have mentioned my favorite 10 roses are not our 10 best performing roses. Ingrid Bergman is one of our 10 best performing roses. She is my favorite color, has a nice fragrance, has wonderful foliage and is as hardy as any of our roses. How on earth do I not include her on my favorite 10 list?
Ingrid is not cane hardy. Spring growth is early and very vigorous. She has been hit hard by May frosts because of this. She bounces back well.
I've wondered why HMF describes fragrance as strong?? The majority of references I have read say she is almost scentless. Just wondering.
