Notes
'Sweet Knirps' rose (Rosa 'Sweet Knirps') is a shrub for borders, containers, and cottage 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. Light pink flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms, and the small, glossy, dark green leaves stay neat on a plant that grows about 12 inches tall. Kordes bred it in 2014 as a sport of 'Knirps'.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Little bluestem, and Garlic chives.
