'Heirloom' rose (Rosa 'Heirloom') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The mauve blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. William A. Warriner bred it in 1971.
