Do you grow Fargesia robusta Green Screen in z5?

A local nursery (Weston Nursery) that I consider pretty reputable told me that they are getting in Fargesia robusta Green Screens in a few weeks.

I'm in zone 5 and when I google this bamboo I see hardiness limits anywhere from zone 5 to zone 7.

Anybody have success with this bamboo in zone 5? I'd love to try this plant but it's expensive and my husband will kill me if I buy a few and they all promptly die. :)

Fargesia rufa has a better shot in zone 5. It'll get to a shorter height of 8'.
