Notes
'Cleopatra' rose (Rosa 'Cleopatra') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. 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 medium pink blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, again from early to late summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Reimer Kordes bred it, and the glossy, dark green leaves look good between flushes of bloom.
Pairs well with Wild bergamot, Fountain grass, and Grape hyacinth.
