Notes
'Duet' rose (Rosa 'Duet') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 65 inches tall, with dark green leaves and fragrant medium pink blooms. Bees visit the flowers from late spring into early autumn. Herbert C. Swim bred it in 1960.
