Notes
'Cornelia' rose (Rosa 'Cornelia') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. The flowers are fragrant and bring butterflies and bees to the garden. Rev. Joseph Hardwick Pemberton bred it in 1926.
Pairs well with Emilia Plater clematis, Alpine aster, and Switchgrass.
