Notes
'Ferdinand Pichard' rose (Rosa 'Ferdinand Pichard') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. 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. The red blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Plants grow bushy and spreading, so give them room. Rémi Tanne bred it in 1921.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Lavender, Ornamental onion, and Foxglove.
