Notes
'Loving Touch' rose (Rosa 'Loving Touch') 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. The bushy plant stays about 30 inches tall and bears fragrant apricot blooms in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and Nelson F. Jolly bred it in 1983.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, The President clematis, Lily, and Cornflower.
