Notes
'Carefree Wonder' rose (Rosa 'Carefree Wonder') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. Pink blend blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and autumn. Bees and butterflies visit them, and the plant sets hips. Alain A. Meilland bred it, and Star Roses introduced it in 1990.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Ornamental onion, and Jackmanii clematis.
