Notes
'Memoriam' rose (Rosa 'Memoriam') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Gordon J. Von Abrams bred it in 1961. The fragrant, light pink blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Coral Charm peony, Japanese forest grass, and Butterfly bush.
