Hi Vicky,
I am in z5a WI and can tell you what pink roses I have in my garden. Some are just planted in the fall but they may give an idea of what grows here. I do mound mulch in the fall, but it's probably not necessary on many of the roses in my garden.
La Reine
Wedding Bells
Eustacia Vye
Royal Jubilee
Huntington Rose
Spirit of Freedom
Chartreus de Parme
Mme. Isaac Pereire
Anna de Deisbach
Heritage
Scepter'd Isle
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (I've heard it Blackspots badly in some areas)
Soeur Emmanuel
Comte de Chambord
Gertrude Jekyll
Dee Lish
I seem to get some blackspot in the fall in my area. There isn't any rose that blackspots so badly that I've wanted to dig it out or that the plant defoliates. Happy Gardening!
