Notes
'Sweet Chariot' rose (Rosa 'Sweet Chariot') is a shrub for containers, borders, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Ralph S. Moore bred it. The fragrant mauve flowers appear in clusters and attract bees. It stays low and spreads, so it also suits a hanging basket.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Ornamental onion, and California poppy.
