One of the "Reference" tab quotes stated this Elegant Beauty rose isn't winter hardy. Most yellow roses are supposedly guilty of this shortcoming, not just this rose. Personally, I haven't really found that to be the case at all for the most part. I find that if a rose is as healthy as possible and gets plenty of moisture during the winter that most are very winter hardy and at least stand a fighting chance of surviving the winter.
I live in a "warm" zone 5b/6a and don't winter protect except for what oak and maple leaves fall on my rosebeds during the Fall of the year from two large trees near my rosebeds. I rarely ever lose any roses during winter and most time there are other circumstances involved such as a weak or non-vigorous growing bush to begin with. In rare instances I may use a newspaper collar filled with mulch on a hard to find or otherwise very special and/or first year bush (Lucille Ball, Blackberry Nip) but that is by far the exception rather than the rule.
I grow St. Patrick, Marilyn Monroe, Autumn Splendor, Color Magic and some other notorious "winter tender" roses with no problems. They may die right to the ground, but they always come back every Spring. Some I have grown for 6 years with no issues from winter.
Just how "winter tender" is Elegant Beauty in your garden? And, what zone do you lie in?
Do you do anything "special" or "out of the ordinary" to winter protect any of your roses??
