Notes
'Boomerang' rose (Rosa 'Boomerang') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Red blend blooms appear in late spring, again from early to late summer, and in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Raymond A. Spooner bred it in 1993.
Pairs well with Bigleaf hydrangea, Fountain grass, Creeping phlox, and Niobe clematis.
