Notes
'Violet Hour' rose (Rosa 'Violet Hour') is a compact 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. Mauve blooms open from early to late summer on medium green foliage, and bees visit them. Gail Trimble bred it in 2017.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Culver’s root, and Queen of Night tulip.
