Notes
'Rainy Day' rose (Rosa 'Rainy Day') 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 sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium pink blooms open from early to late summer and have a sweet fragrance. Bees visit the flowers, and the bushy habit suits a mixed bed. Sam McGredy, IV bred it.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Red Charm peony, and Sedge.
