Notes
'Cambridge' rose (Rosa 'Cambridge') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The mauve blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Poulsen Roser introduced it in 1997.
Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Hummelo betony, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
