Notes
'Summer Sweetheart' rose (Rosa 'Summer Sweetheart') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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 orange-pink flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Harkness & Co bred it in 2012.
Pairs well with Smoketree, Switchgrass, and Casa Blanca lily.
