Notes
Rose (Rosa laevigata) is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its white flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. The arching stems grow quickly and can reach 20 feet tall.
