Notes
'Royal Highness' rose (Rosa 'Royal Highness') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Light pink, fragrant blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Herbert C. Swim and O. L. Weeks bred it in 1962.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
