Notes
'Dr Darley' rose (Rosa 'Dr Darley') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its upright stems carry fragrant, medium pink blooms from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, so you can cut some for a vase and leave the rest for them.
Pairs well with Mountain mint, Panicle hydrangea, Lily, and Nelly Moser clematis.
