Notes
'Strawberry Blonde' rose (Rosa 'Strawberry Blonde') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, 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. The compact plant has dark green leaves and fragrant apricot blooms from late spring into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Rob Somerfield bred it in 2018.
Pairs well with Foxglove, Fountain grass, and The President clematis.
