Can the rose New Dawn be grown in Missouri? Does it require full sun?

I am interested in the history of this rose. I know it grows well in Tennessee and southwards, but I have not seen it in the Midwest. It should bloom all summer and has a wonderful fragrance. Is it featured in any rose gardens in the Missouri/Iowa/Wisconsin areas? Does anyone have experience growing it there? Photographs? Places where it can be purchased?

I live in Northern Mo zone 5a and I have had this rose 3 years. It is up by my garage and it grows so good I have to prune it back to keep it looking to wild. This rose has no die back in winter and it is the easiest rose to grow. It needs full sun. Where ever you put it make sure you have lots of room for it . It will really get big and tall. You will love this rose for it blooms all summer. The first bloom is the best in the spring. My rose is an own root rose that I bought over the internet. I would only suggest own root roses in Mo. Try ebay I have bought lots of nice roses there or try this link.

Reply:the rose new dawn could surely be grown in Missouri and probably do OK ...you see roses for the most part will grow in hardiness zone 6 and some even in zone 4 or 5 and still overwinter all right, however anytime you have winter cold reach levels below zero there are chances that the root stock could survive but the grafted variety you chose may be killed by the weather--in other words most roses today are grafted onto old reliable roses root stock so if say you bought a hybrid rose that was supposed to be a bright pink rose with a name and it did die off during the winter, you could conceivably have the root stock rose still come out the next year but it could be a simple multi flora rose in white or who knows what rootstock they chose to graft it on---roses are a very serious thing to grow if your really into them--but if your not into maintenance and care i would suggest just picking out one of the many landscape roses which need little attention and are easy to grow, examples are meidiland roses or knock out roses which are quite easily found in most garden centers, -----------blanco
