Notes
'Elizabeth Cullen' rose (Rosa 'Elizabeth Cullen') 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. Medium red, fragrant blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the bushy habit shows off dark green foliage. Alexander Dickson II bred it in 1921.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Pink, and Gladiolus.
