Notes
'Bernadette Lafont' rose (Rosa 'Bernadette Lafont') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 grows upright and reaches 28 to 35 inches tall, with glossy, dark green foliage. Deep pink, fragrant flowers appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Bernard Sauvageot bred it in 2004.
Pairs well with Delphinium, The President clematis, and Indian grass.
