Notes
'Little Darling' rose (Rosa 'Little Darling') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, 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. The yellow blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Carl G. Duehrsen bred it, and Elmer Roses Co. introduced it in 1957.
Pairs well with Butterfly bush, Dense blazing star, and Ornamental onion.
