Notes

'The Holt' rose (Rosa 'The Holt') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Deep pink, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer. Bees visit the blooms, and you can bring stems indoors for bouquets.

Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Sweet William, Niobe clematis, and Lily.
