Notes
'Aquarius' rose (Rosa 'Aquarius') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The pink blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. It flowers in late spring, again from early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. David L. Armstrong bred it, and Armstrong Nursery introduced it in 1970.
Pairs well with Culver’s root, Ornamental onion, and Niobe clematis.
