Notes
'Wild Cherry' rose (Rosa 'Wild Cherry') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The red blend blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Rob Somerfield bred it in 2014.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Prairie dropseed, and Lilac.
