Notes
'Simplicity' rose (Rosa 'Simplicity') is a shrub for borders, hedges, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Louis Lens bred it in 2000. The fragrant orange-pink blooms appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Indian grass, Maltese cross, and Creeping phlox.
