Notes
'Emma May' rose (Rosa 'Emma May') is an upright shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant, medium pink flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. John Sheridan bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Ornamental onion, and Big bluestem.
