Purchased this as a 'rose in a bag' from either Walmart or Home Depot in 2024. Assumed it would be like an annual for me as I'm zone 5a. Bought it out of pity as it was a zone 7 rose and wasn't going to survive anywhere near where it was being sold anyways. Crazy thing though- it's survived a first winter despite having a rough start as a late clearance bagged rose and a lot of cane borer.
