Notes
'Sexy Rexy' rose (Rosa 'Sexy Rexy') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The medium pink blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Samuel Darragh McGredy IV bred it in 1985. The stems sometimes cannot hold the heavy heads of bloom upright.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Stargazer lily, and The President clematis.
