'Yellow Fairy ™' rose Reviews & Comments

Initial post 15 JUN 15 by Elizabeth
I was just perusing roses and realized that the Yellow Fairy was developed by the Olesen's of Denmark and yet the notes say it is hardy in zone 6B and up. I cannot imagine that much of Denmark is in 6B and I thought they developed roses for climates such as that of Denmark! Can this 6B be correct?

6B sounds conceivable, considering its from wichurana/multiflora types and a garden miniature. I would doubt anything lower than 6A, however, without testing it for at least 2 winters. One of the photos on here is from Sweden, which is pretty dang cold. For comparison, Flower Carpet Pink is conceptually similar in lineage to Yellow Fairy.
