Notes
'Oklahoma' rose (Rosa 'Oklahoma') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The dark red blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Herbert C. Swim and O. L. Weeks bred it in 1964.
