Notes
'Neil Diamond' rose (Rosa 'Neil Diamond') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The large flowers are striped in magenta, rich pink, and reddish pink with white marks. They have a strong, sweet old rose fragrance and rebloom from spring to fall. Thomas F. Carruth bred it.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Ornamental onion, and Niobe clematis.
