Notes
'Baby Boomer' rose (Rosa 'Baby Boomer') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The medium pink blooms grow in clusters on long stems, so they work well in a vase. Bees visit the flowers. Frank A. Benardella bred it in 2003.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Little bluestem, and Gladiolus.
