    stumbled over the parentage of this rose: 'rote Max Graf' x ('Cassandre' x 'Bonica'), as I am grazy enough to breed with this one :-)

    Source: Floribunda rose plant named 'Meiangele'

    Given the parentage listed, it ought to be hardier than USDA 6. The list under the gardens tab shows it being grown in Moscow by Titania.

    What a beautiful rose! Are we seeing a resurgence of polyantha breeding?

    Three nurseries in Russia carry this rose, (and none in North America, alas), so it must be hardy to at least USDA 5.

    Thank you. I've added a NOTE to the rose page that it may be hardier and pointed other site users to see COMMENTS.
