Notes
'Violet Cloud' rose (Rosa 'Violet Cloud') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The bushy plant has glossy foliage and fragrant mauve blooms that attract bees. It flowers in late spring, again from early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Harkness Roses introduced it in 2008.
Pairs well with Bobo hydrangea, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
