Notes
'Silas Marner' rose (Rosa 'Silas Marner') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. It bears fragrant, medium pink blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. The leathery, glossy leaves stay dark green. David J. C. Austin bred it in 2020.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Stargazer lily, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
