Notes
'Loving Care' rose (Rosa 'Loving Care') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, 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. The compact plant bears fragrant, medium red blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mike Athy bred it in 2007.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Silver sage, Switchgrass, and Casa Blanca lily.
