Notes
'Grandma’s Rose' rose (Rosa Grandmas Rose 'Grandma’s Rose') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The dark red blooms have purple shading and a sweet scent, and bees visit them. Flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Rob Somerfield bred it in 2022.
Pairs well with Baby's breath, Blue wild indigo, and Ornamental onion.
