Notes
'Honeymoon' rose (Rosa 'Honeymoon') 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. The fragrant white blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn on a bushy, upright plant. Bees visit the flowers. Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2016.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Smooth hydrangea, and Indian grass.
