Your RoS should be hardy in your area. My largest one was 'babied' by me for the first couple of years (started from a 6" cutting) and I had it in a large container that I would 'drag' in during the winter and out during the spring. I finally dug it into it's permanent location 2 years ago and it is thriving. I took some cuttings of it this spring and just 'shoved' them into the garden dirt and now I've got another of the same RoS growing in another location---no 'mollycuddling' this time :)

Below is a pic of my RoS---sorry about the bluriness! It's lavender colored with a burgundy eye. I have many seeds that I harvested from it last year...would you like some???
