Notes
'Beach Blanket' rose (Rosa 'Beach Blanket') is a spreading shrub for ground cover, borders, 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. It stays about 18 inches tall and spreads wide, so give it room. Deep pink flowers appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2010.
Pairs well with Hyssop, Blue grama, and Delphinium.
