Here's a link to what HMF has on it.

Thank you! I think I learned my lesson about picking up cheap roses in big box stores:-) This rose looks like it for zone 7 and I'm in zone 6 or maybe even 5 now. I'll try it in a pot and bring it into the garage for the winter?

The whole thing about body bags is that they're not usually the best grade of plant and they can often be mislabeled. Let's hope yours is the exception. As long as you know the facts going in, and are prepared to deal with them, they can be a great bargain. Even some of the mislabeled ones I've gotten have turned out to be great roses that I never would have gotten otherwise.

It's hard to say. It may winter perfectly fine. I have several zone 7 HTs that make it no problem in my zone 6b garden. Then I've had some rated to zone 5 that died. You just never know.

Placement can make all the difference too. Every garden has its own micro climates. If you can find a warmer, protected spot to plant yours in that may help. For most people that's on the South side of the house where it gets more sun and stays warmer during the winter. But you know your garden best. If you have a side that gets the brunt of the prevailing winds you want to make sure it's sheltered from that. Wind can do as much damage as cold.

As for garaging it, is your garage unheated but insulated? If it's not an insulated garage it won't be any better than being outside. But you don't want it heated because that will be too warm and it won't go dormant and stay dormant until spring. With too much warmth and too little light it will struggle to try and grow and could possibly exhaust itself and die. And if you do garage it remember to give it some water at least once a month. It's sleeping, not dead, and still needs moisture!

I've actually had really good luck with bagged roses and a bunch of inexpensive bare root plants. Your advice was very helpful because I do have a spot in my yard that I swear is an entire zone warmer. Everything blooms a month earlier than the rest of my house. As I'm waiting for it to warm up I am planning where I will plant everything.
Also thank you for your advice about garaging them. My garage is insulated but I wouldn't have thought to water the roses so thank you!!

You can also plant the bud union 2-4 inches below soil level, a lot of digging, but worth while....

I also purchased one of these roses, and quite look forward to growing it. Whenever I've bought a bagged rose, it has always turned out to be correctly labelled. Tho, I can see how they can be labelled wrong sometimes. With so many roses being mass produced, some are bound to fall through the cracks. But like I said, fortunately, none that I have bought were ever mislabelled. Whenever I do buy a bagged rose, I do so when the garden centers first get them in, and not when they've been sitting on the shelf for a long time and neglected.

Yes I have been basically visiting any store where they could be sold looking to get them nice and early. I got a few just as they were put out. Good thing because they were outside and it has snowed the past 2 days. I also got a grandiflora called "love." I like that they are often older roses. I bought a nice small house with a small yard but tons of empty gardens. I waited and waited for the flowers to come up my first spring and I got 2 rose bushes, a pot of irises and lots of weeds!

One of the first roses I got when I moved to this new zone was a Walmart Love. It's been a great rose--in fact, I had to move it this year it had grown so.
It's a thorny thing but the flowers are stunning.

Yes I'm really looking forward to growing my walmart love rose! I'm glad to hear that it is so stunning. I'm new to roses and I learned from the Love rose that roses vary in thorns. I also will be growing it next to my Peace rose which came with my house and I get a kick out growing love and peace next to each other.

I have White Magic, this will be the 3rd season for it, although the 1st year it was potted and then planted in the fall so only one full growing season in ground. Honestly I am not having luck with it! It has these beautiful pointed buds and they start to open with the most beautiful snow white petals and then nothing. The don't ever open all the way, they just stay 90% sealed up and then get all wilted yellow browning on the plant? Balling up maybe? Hopefully you will not have this problem! I think it would be stunning if it bloomed properly! I'm holding out hope for mine for this season! :)

I hope it does ok. I'm still trying to figure out the best spot for it. The spot with the most sun might is also the most potentially windy spot. I might try it in a really big pot and put it by my front steps. It will get a lot of sun and be protected. We shall see how it goes. It looks like rose growing is a lot of trial and error.

I have a White Magic Hybred Tea Rose bush that seems to be doing great. I bought it a nursery on sale. The trouble I am having is finding any kind of info on the rose bush. Like does it Attracts Butterflies Attracts Hummingbirds Attracts Pollinators Bloom Color Family Bloom Color Name, When does it bloom, in Fall, in the Spring, in Summer, in Winter, or year round. What is the Botanical Name? Is it Deer-Resistant? How Fragrant is it. What is the Growth Habit, Height (Feet), Light Requirements, Minimum Spacing (Inches), Moisture Requirements ? Is it Recommended for Beds or Recommended for Borders, Recommended for Containers, or all three. Is it recommended planting in the Fall, Spring, Summer, or Winter. Is it recommended for Landscaping, Mailboxes, or both? Where can I find this info on this rose bush?

So, White Magic showed up in Certifieds compilation in the era where the old management would *ahem* rename without notification and give no breeder. There are a few examples of this. It is possible that White Magic is one of these. It is possible it is a unique rose and they opted not to share or simply didn't care to know.

Unfortunately, the photos of its parts are not good enough for ID.
