Notes
'Silver Shadow' rose (Rosa 'Silver Shadow') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, 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 bushy plant has fragrant mauve blooms that attract bees. It flowers in late spring, through summer, and again in early autumn. Gareth Fryer bred it in 2013.
Pairs well with Lilac, Purple Coneflower coneflower, Little bluestem, and Garlic chives.
