Notes
'Martha Stewart' rose (Rosa 'Martha Stewart') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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 cupped, ruffled flowers have more than 100 petals and carry a fragrance of lemon, bergamot, and honeysuckle. Blooms are light pink outside with apricot centers, and they rebloom into fall. Alain A. Meilland bred it, and its long stems are perfect for cutting.
Pairs well with Catnip, Buckeye Belle peony, Niobe clematis, and Queen of Night tulip.
