Notes

'Summer of Love' rose (Rosa 'Summer of Love') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant yellow blend blooms open in late spring, again from early to late summer, and in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2017.

Pairs well with Smoketree, Ironweed, Nelly Moser clematis, and Lily.
