Notes
'Elsa Arnot' rose (Rosa 'Elsa Arnot') 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. Its pink blend flowers are fragrant and appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. David Arnot bred it in 1960 and named it for his wife.
Pairs well with Butterfly bush, Niobe clematis, Fountain grass, and Lanceleaf coreopsis.
