Notes

'Sweet Spirit' rose (Rosa 'Sweet Spirit') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The red blend blooms are fragrant, and bees and butterflies visit them. It has a bushy habit and dark green leaves. Alain A. Meilland bred it in 2017.

Pairs well with Butterfly bush, Feather reed grass, Stained Glass hosta, and Sweet William.
