Pinata Climbing Rose in Zone 4a Minnesota—Not Hardy

‘Pinata’ is not hardy in Zone 4a, even with protection. It thrives in Zone 6+ (e.g., Seattle). Options:

• Grow in large pot on casters; move to unheated garage for winter.
• Choose hardy climbers: ‘William Baffin’, ‘John Cabot’, ‘Henry Kelsey’ (Canadian Explorers, Zone 3).

Don’t risk it in-ground; winter kill is certain.
