Notes
'Cosmos' rose (Rosa 'Cosmos') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, 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. Fragrant light pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Maurice Combe bred it in 1995.
Pairs well with Gaura, Lily, and Rose of sharon.
