Notes
'Jean Kenneally' rose (Rosa 'Jean Kenneally') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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 upright, bushy plant bears double, fragrant apricot flowers from late spring into early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Dee Bennett bred it in 1984.
Pairs well with Mock orange, Fragrant Bouquet hosta, and Stargazer lily.
