'Dinky' rose (Rosa 'Dinky') 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 upright to about 39 to 49 inches tall and bears fragrant, deep pink blooms. Bees visit the flowers from late spring into early autumn.
