Notes
'Colleen' rose (Rosa 'Colleen') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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 pink blend blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1915.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Japanese forest grass, and Grape hyacinth.
