Notes
'Taffeta' rose (Rosa 'Taffeta') 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. The upright shrub bears fragrant pink blend blooms in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Dr. Walter E. Lammerts bred it in 1947.
Pairs well with Garden phlox, Butterfly bush, and Jackmanii clematis.
