Notes
'Sweet Willamina' rose (Rosa 'Sweet Willamina') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and fragrant gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The lilac-pink flowers shift in tone with the seasons, more lilac in cool weather and more pink in heat. They have a light tea scent with notes of vanilla, and the low thorn count makes the stems easy to cut. Brad Jalbert of Select Roses bred it.
Pairs well with Purple Pillar rose of sharon, The President clematis, and Blue flag.
