Notes
'Riverdance' rose (Rosa 'Riverdance') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, 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. It stays bushy and low, with deep pink, fragrant blooms that appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. David Kenny bred it in 1997.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Japanese forest grass, and Niobe clematis.
