Notes
'Sweet Repose' rose (Rosa 'Sweet Repose') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The yellow blend blooms are fragrant and open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Gerrit de Ruiter bred it in 1955.
Pairs well with Green Velvet buxus, Fountain grass, and Limelight hydrangea.
