Excellent rose option for the cold northern climate (Zone 4a). Drought tolerant, but will be twice the size and lush if it gets regular watering. The flowers change daily, ensuring that the rose looks different every single day of the season. Perpetual blooming.
Carlene, does Tennessee count as a hot climate? This is a pretty healthy rose for me. It doesn't flinch during long hot and humid spells or cold snaps in the spring. It rarely blackspots in my no spray garden. It's not a favorite of the local deer. The flowers are pretty but it does need to be deadheaded to look good. Be aware that the given size is only a guess. Mine is well over 5 ft. tall and is a thorny devil. Since I planted it in the front of the bed, I have to figure out how to move it.
