Notes
'Southern Beauty' rose (Rosa 'Southern Beauty') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 arching canes reach about 59 inches tall and carry dark green leaves. Fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn, and bees visit them. John Ford bred it.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Ornamental onion, and Blue grama.
