Notes
'Debutante' rose (Rosa 'Debutante') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Light pink, fragrant blooms open in spring and summer, and bees and butterflies visit them. Michael H. Walsh bred it in 1902. Thorny, well-branched stems make a bushy plant, so give it room.
Pairs well with Catmint, Lady's mantle, and Lavender.
