Notes
'Dunkerque' rose (Rosa 'Dunkerque') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Joseph Laperrière fils bred it in 1940.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Casa Blanca lily, and Blue jasmine.
