Notes
'Sweetness' rose (Rosa 'Sweetness') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It is a Hybrid Tea with fragrant blooms on long stems, and the flowers last a long time on the plant and in a vase. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2008. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Lily, and Jackmanii clematis.
