I still have the grandiflora in the ground. It gets huge and spreads droopily out. I hack it back regularly!!! I dug up my orange one and it sits in a pot. I killed my wine one. It gets drowned where it is in winter and it survives fine. Blooms in the cold. I never cover it and it lived thru our bad early frost we had.

Hey, just went out to see if I could get a picture of blooms and we are in a major frost for us. It is 32 degrees at 8 AM. No warning!! The leaves of this have a light covering of ice. I will let you know how it does! LOL

PS Mary, great pics!
