Notes
'Purity' rose (Rosa 'Purity') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings, and it also works as a privacy screen. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. White, fragrant flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. James A. Farrell bred it in 1917.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Woolly yarrow, Lily, and Joe-pyeweed.
