Notes
'Rose Parade' rose (Rosa 'Rose Parade') 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. The fragrant pink blend flowers open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. J. Benjamin Williams bred it in 1974.
Pairs well with Blazing star, Switchgrass, and False indigo.
