Notes
'Monkey Business' rose (Rosa 'Monkey Business') 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 light yellow blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2008.
Pairs well with Feverfew, Indian grass, and Bells of Ireland.
