Notes
'James Galway' rose (Rosa 'James Galway') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, 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 average to moist soil of most types. The upright canes reach 120 to 180 inches tall and bear fragrant light pink blooms. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. David C. H. Austin bred it.
