Notes
'William Shean' rose (Rosa 'William Shean') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Alexander Dickson II bred it in 1906.
Pairs well with Hollyhock, Black chokeberry, and Queen of Night tulip.
