My front garden is small. It is only 8 by 2.5 feet. It gets full sun.
Instead of regular flowers, I would like to try roses. But I need to get one that is continuously blooming. Is there any such rose?

For your cold winter you should looks at Buck's roses. Griffith Buck was a rosarian who specialized in roses for cold climates. Kordes the German breeder is another or the 'Explorer' series are cold hardy roses bred in Canada http://www.uvm.edu/pss/ppp/articles/explorer.html

The best you can do is to look for a remontant rose. This means they bloom again. Roses will have a first flush then either come again or keep a smaller bloom going til frost. For your space consider climbing roses trained up trellises behind smaller plants. Then for even more bloom grow clematis up through the climbing rose's canes to either complement the bloom or fill in when the rose is not at peak bloom.
Check at your library for the book 'The Rose & Clematis as Companions' by John Howells. 'Landscape with Roses' by Jeff Cox.
My rose 'Blaze' begins blooming in June and is never out of bloom til the frost in December takes out the last buds but this is not true of all my roses.

Most roses do not bloom continuously all summer, but many will bloom many times throughout the summer. If you clip off the dead flowers you will have new buds coming in about another month. I live in a similar zone and my roses bloom about 4 to 5 times a year. There is a bush that has flowers that look like roses and it blooms continuously, I believe it's called a laurel or mountain laurel bush.
