Please don't jump on me for asking here ... I'm hoping someone has had
experience, is all. I have searched -- the web, gardening books and software,
but I'm suffering from information overload and confusion.
Can anyone recommend a shrub, preferable flowering at some point, that won't
exceed 6' tall by 6' around that can take 100 degree summers on a Southern
exposure that gets full sun all day? In in zone 5, but if this heat keeps up
it'll be zone 6 very soon.
Thanks ...

Potentilla.
Floribunda roses. Keep them watered in the heat.
