Notes
'Carefree Delight' rose (Rosa 'Carefree Delight') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Pink blend flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and again in autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Alain A. Meilland bred it in 1994.
Pairs well with Butterfly bush, Feather reed grass, and Ornamental onion.
