I live in zone 6/7. For what its worth, I have a Vanessa on the back porch
fence. It got really huge, and then one winter it died,or I thought it did.
The next year there was nothing. A year later, the vine regrew from the
roots. Apparently it was hardier than I thought. If it had not been for my
laziness in not getting it dug out, I would never had known that it was not
dead, it just lost the above ground wood to the winter. Had I been
intelligent, I would have pruned it back and covered it in burlap for the
winter. I was too busy worrying about the fruit trees and ignored the
grapes.
