Notes
'City of London' rose (Rosa 'City of London') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 grows bushy and bears fragrant, light pink blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Harkness & Co bred it in 1987.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Creeping thyme, and Fountain grass.
