Notes
'Pinkie' rose (Rosa 'Pinkie') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Herbert C. Swim bred it in 1947.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Little bluestem, and Blanket flower.
