Also known as David Austin roses.  This diverse group combines antique form and fragrance with repeat blooming cycle.  Their hardiness approximates zone 5, but may do ok in colder climates with additional winter protection.  In our experience, their qualities justify the extra protection, especially in sheltered sites.  If you like the old style molded into floribunda-like habit there are numerous to choose from. Offered own-root or budded.
