Notes
'Lipstick' rose (Rosa 'Lipstick') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. 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 in a bushy mound about 28 to 31 inches tall and 43 to 47 inches wide. The pink blend flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Hans Jurgen Evers bred it, and Rosen Tantau introduced it in 2011.
Pairs well with Sweet William, Ornamental onion, and Blue grama.
