Notes
'Pink Silk' rose (Rosa 'Pink Silk') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 medium pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Charles Walter Gregory bred it in 1972.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Stargazer lily, and Nelly Moser clematis.
