Notes
'Eye Candy' rose (Rosa 'Eye Candy') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Yellow blend flowers open from early to late summer and have a fragrance that bees visit. The upright stems reach about 47 to 59 inches tall. Warren Millington bred it in 2012.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Indian grass, and Clematis.
