Notes
'Sweetheart' rose (Rosa 'Sweetheart') is a vine for cottage gardens, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its white flowers are fragrant and open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Michael H. Walsh bred it in 1901.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Anise hyssop, and Lily.
