It survives. Some years, it survives well enough to bloom twice. Usually, it is one or two lanky canes, with some flowers on the top in June. I'm not sure I even have pictures, since it's never been particularly noteworthy.

I would say that you are very close to me as far as zones and weather go. Eastern NY and Maine are not that far apart in the grand scheme of things so thank you so much for that information.

Not sure why my username still says NH I've tried to change it three times.

Years ago, we used to go to Mike Lowe's open house in Nashua, and regularly vacation in coastal Maine. Things bloomed a bit earlier here, but the plants looked the same. Both as to types, and how successful they looked.

I visited Mike years ago, since my husband is from Maine. He was very gracious and he had a beautiful garden. His "chestnut" roses were a marvel.
