Notes
'Swift' rose (Rosa 'Swift') is a shrub for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. White, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer against dark green leaves. Bees visit the blooms. Pernille Olesen bred it, and Poulsen Roser introduced it in 2000.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Niobe clematis, and Garlic chives.
