Notes
'Smart Roadrunner' rose (Rosa 'Smart Roadrunner') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The deep pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Dense, dark green leaves cover the upright plants, so it works well across large areas. Jurgen Walter Uhl bred it in 2002.
Pairs well with Wild bergamot, Sundrops, and Lily.
