Notes
'Sunny Sky' rose (Rosa 'Sunny Sky') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant, medium yellow blooms have a copper tint and attract bees. Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2009. It stays upright and tops out near 28 inches tall.
Pairs well with Sweet William, Jackmanii clematis, Bartzella peony, and Casa Blanca lily.
