Notes
'Easy Does It' rose (Rosa 'Easy Does It') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The ruffled blooms shift between mango orange, peach pink, and ripe apricot, and they have a mild fragrance. It blooms again and again, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Harkness Roses introduced it in 2008.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Smoketree, Wide Brim hosta, and Lily.
