Notes
'Skylark' rose (Rosa 'Skylark') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows upright to about 41 to 47 inches tall and has glossy foliage. Medium pink blooms appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract bees and butterflies. Paul Francis DeVor bred it.
