Notes

'Blois' rose (Rosa 'Blois') 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. Its white, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. The glossy, dark green leaves set off the blooms. L. Pernille Olesen bred it in 2003.

Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Sweet William, and Arrowwood viburnum.
