Notes
'Blushing Barbara' rose (Rosa 'Blushing Barbara') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its pink blend blooms open in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Richard and Ruth Walsh bred it in 2018.
Pairs well with Lantana, Jerusalem sage, Doctor Ruppel clematis, and Wizard of Oz dahlia.
