Vjd...I've never heard that before. I know you have very cold winters. What is your soil like? Roses love the UK climate, but they also love heavy clay soil, which means we can grow them in places where other plants wouldnt be happy. But they really arent fussy about growing medium and will grow happily in light compost as well. I'm guessing it must be the cold, as I've seen wonderful roses in Portugese hill villages..so they clearly take heat as well. They do like a lot of rich food...well-rotted cow or horse manure is ideal, and sunshine. I'm curious now....wondering why they wont grow there!

That looks fantastic. I find it a difficult rose to capture. The camera seems to wash the colour out of it. But this is a good shot. Mine is looking really fantastic...a mass of bronzy leaves and tons of buds. I cant wait to see it in flower. :) love my roses!
