Notes

'Diamond Eyes' rose (Rosa 'Diamond Eyes') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant mauve blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Thomas F. Carruth bred it in 2013.

Pairs well with Ornamental onion, Sweet William, and Big bluestem.
