I got a photo of my 'Royal America' white Climbing Rose, it's still green! I just planted it last year. That was another one that I got duped on at Kmart. The packaging didn't say the zone so I took a chance again. If it dies, I am also bamboozled because Kmart doesn't have the 1 year guarantee on plants, they are like all other merchandise on returns unfortunately.
Anyway, I've since researched it after I bought it, (Googled it), it is minimum zone 6b, so my fingers are crossed again, as this is mostly 5b or 6a at most, depending on the weather. But, it sure is pretty, I hope it hangs around a while. The place here really is in a protected from the North spot, you can't even see the horizon on the North. Maybe that'll be enuff to let it live! - http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.5522.0
