Notes
'First Crush Parfuma' rose (Rosa 'First Crush Parfuma') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The cupped light pink blooms smell of citrus and classic rose, and the outer petals fade to white. Flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. Bees visit them, and Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2015.
Pairs well with Garden phlox, Ornamental onion, and Little bluestem.
