'Conservation' rose (Rosa 'Conservation') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 as a bushy mound with light green leaves and fragrant pink blend blooms that attract bees. Anne G. Cocker bred it in 1986, and it is named for the World Wildlife Fund.
