Notes
'Sans Souci' rose (Rosa 'Sans Souci') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 big, double blooms are creamy pale pink with apricot tones in the center, and they open in large clusters. Bees visit the fragrant flowers. Keith G. Laver bred it in 1986.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Mock orange, and Casa Blanca lily.
