Honeysweet

Honey Sweet Rose, Rosa 'Honeysweet', has yellow buds on this Buck rose that are held in clusters, brushed with rosy red to magnify coppery tints in the abundant dark green foliage. This abundant, leathery foliage has good field resistance to foliar disease. From yellow and orange to rosy pink, the flowers brim with color and the scent of honey until frost calls it all to a halt. It is crown hardy to zone 4 with a mulch applied to ensure hardiness. The plants are winter-hardy in Iowa without protection. Own root. This orange pink shrub has thorns that are brown-tan and awl-like. Honey Sweet is a moderately vigorous, and an erect plant that is bushy and blooms continually from June until killing frost.
