Notes
'Twilight' rose (Rosa 'Twilight') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and loamy or clay soil. It stays short and spreads wide, with glossy leaves and fragrant deep pink flowers that attract bees. They open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Werner Noack bred it in 1955.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Queen of Night tulip, and First Frost hosta.
