'Scent of Woman' rose (Rosa 'Scent of Woman') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 mauve blooms appear in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and it grows up to 39 inches tall. Enrico Barni bred it.
