Notes
'Show Stopper' rose (Rosa 'Show Stopper') 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. Fragrant apricot blooms open from early to late summer and attract bees. The upright form and dark green leaves suit a mixed bed. Frank A. Benardella bred it in 2008.
Pairs well with Lilac, Little bluestem, and Nelly Moser clematis.
