Notes
'Alexandrine' rose (Rosa 'Alexandrine') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Its upright stems carry fragrant apricot blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the blooms also make good bouquets.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Mexican hat, and Little bluestem.
