Notes
'Dame Edith Helen' rose (Rosa 'Dame Edith Helen') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 bushy plant bears fragrant, medium pink blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Alexander Dickson II bred it in 1926.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Culver’s root, and Amsonia.
