Notes
'Love Song' rose (Rosa 'Love Song') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The mauve flowers have an old-fashioned, cupped shape and a citrus scent. Color is truest in cool weather, and bees visit the blooms. Carruth bred it in 2011.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Sweet William, and Stargazer lily.
