Notes
Evergreen rose (Rosa sempervirens) is a climbing shrub for borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. White, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies visit the blooms, and the dark green leaves stay on the plant through winter.
Pairs well with Peony, Smoketree, and Fountain grass.
