Notes
'Rush' rose (Rosa 'Rush') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, 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. The fragrant pink blend flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Louis Lens bred it in 1986 as a repeat-blooming descendant of 'R'. multiflora.
Pairs well with Hollyhock, Casa Blanca lily, and Goldenrod.
