Any gardeners?

Hello Protectorites.

Anyone have any names of pretty varieties of hardy rose bushes that would be able to survive a zone 6 climate?

We plan on putting my dog Sully's ashes around a rose bush that we will plant this spring once the ground thaws. When he was a puppy he destroyed 2 rose bushes that I had in the backyard, and I thought a rose bush is a fitting place for him to be. I was also thinking of planting a little butterfly garden with some ornamental grasses around the birdbath, since butterflies and grass were two of the things he loved to howl at when he was outside. He was scared of them, but he loved to howl at them.

Anyhow, I don't know a lot about roses, so any help would be appreciated

Now I give you... Spider-Dog.

I would think a nice tea rose would be hardy enough and a pretty easy start.

I'm sorry to hear about Sully. Your non-sequiturs about his antics will be missed.

I know little to nothing about gardening, but I do know a bit about searching das interwebidies...

Here and here seems to be some good reading on the topic.

As for you and your dear Sully, I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
