Notes
'Fashion Forward' rose (Rosa 'Fashion Forward') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. Each pink flower has over 100 ruffled petals and a strong, fruity, lemony scent. It reblooms from summer into fall, and bees visit the flowers. Christian Bedard bred it.
Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Karl Rosenfield peony, and Niobe clematis.
