Notes
'Sugar Sweet' rose (Rosa 'Sugar Sweet') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 pink blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Jim Sanday bred it in 1973.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Hardy geranium, Blue fescue, and Nelly Moser clematis.
