Notes
'Barbara Bush' rose (Rosa 'Barbara Bush') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Warriner bred it in 1991. The upright plant stays under about 47 inches tall. Fragrant pink blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Big bluestem, Ornamental onion, and Hyssop.
