Joanna - they are absolutely beautiful. Advice needed: I planted a rose in a container this summer and it has done really well. What are you going to do with yours over the winter? I have no idea and I have no place right now to plant it in the garden. Next spring i hope to have a new area ready where i can plant it but for now it will have to stay in the container. When i bought the rose it was supposed to be a miniature and I didn't think it would amount to much, but I don't want to lose it. It is probably at least 3 feet tall and very bushy and has bloomed well all summer. I'm in zone 5 and I see you are in zone 3 so you get quite a bit colder than we do. Eleanor
