Notes
'Jiminy Cricket' rose (Rosa 'Jiminy Cricket') 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 orange-pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Eugene S. Boerner bred it in 1955. Glossy leaves set off the flowers from late spring into early autumn.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Wild bergamot, and Blue grama.
