Notes
'Aberdeen' rose (Rosa 'Aberdeen') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It stays bushy and compact, with dark green leaves. Fragrant light pink flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Poulsen Roser introduced it in 1996.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Fragrant Bouquet hosta, and Queen of Night tulip.
