Notes
'Wild Blue Yonder' rose (Rosa 'Wild Blue Yonder') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 and have a sweet fragrance. Bees visit the flowers, and the upright habit suits a spot where you can enjoy the scent. Thomas F. Carruth bred it in 2004.
Pairs well with Cora Louise peony, Clematis, Japanese holly, and Lily.
