I've also been looking for that species...it may not be fully hardy here but I think it might go. We rarely drop below 0 F and usually have a good snow cover when we do.

We are very fortunate in Newfoundland that we have no diseases that bother cotoneasters. We do have pear-slug that can cause some problems but one shot of insecticidal soap seems to erradicate them. I grow several species; apiculatus, lucidus, horizontalis, cochleatus, adpressus, divaricatus, bullatus, dammeri, multiflorus and tomentosus. The fall colour of most is spectacular. Tomentosus and bullatus just came into my hands this years....so far I'm quite impressed.

Here is my lucidus hedge.
