And, I don't know what disease it is resistant to because it got them all in my yard! Don't get me wrong, it is a gorgeous rose! But you may be disappointed with its performance.
You list zone 5 but where are you? Most HTs are a little winter tender. Unless that spot is pretty winter protected you may want to look for something a bit hardier.
