Notes
'Alexandra' rose (Rosa 'Alexandra') 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 fragrant, light yellow flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 1998.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Beautyberry, and Lily.
