Notes
'Diamonds Forever' rose (Rosa 'Diamonds Forever') 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. Medium yellow, fragrant flowers open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Bob Matthews bred it in 2008.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Niobe clematis, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
