Notes
'Border Queen' rose (Rosa 'Border Queen') 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. The orange-pink blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Gerrit De Ruiter bred it in 1951.
