Notes
'Edgar M. Burnett' rose (Rosa 'Edgar M. Burnett') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright, bushy plant has few or no thorns. Fragrant light pink blooms with a deep pink center appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1915.
Pairs well with Pink, Fountain grass, and Red-hot poker.
