Notes
'Joy' rose (Rosa 'Joy') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows 24 to 28 inches tall with a spreading habit and medium green leaves. Fragrant pink blend blooms open in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. David E. Clemons bred it.
Pairs well with Blue star, Switchgrass, and Casa Blanca lily.
