Notes
'Dark Knight' rose (Rosa 'Dark Knight') is a shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. 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. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies. It grows 47 to 71 inches tall and spreads 35 to 47 inches, so give it room in a hedge row.
Pairs well with Catmint, Moonshine yarrow, and Lady's mantle.
