Notes
'Fanfare' rose (Rosa 'Fanfare') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Pink blend blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves stay leathery. Herbert C. Swim bred it, and Armstrong Nursery introduced it in 1956.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Gladiolus, and Blueberry.
