Notes
'Simply Magic' rose (Rosa 'Simply Magic') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, 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. It bears large clusters of double pink blooms from late spring into early autumn, and bees visit them. Alain Antoine Meilland bred it in 1982.
Pairs well with New England aster, Sundrops, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
