Notes
'Dolly' rose (Rosa 'Dolly') 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 to part shade and loamy or clay soil. The deep pink blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Niels Dines Poulsen bred it in 1978.
Pairs well with Yarrow, June hosta, and Stargazer lily.
