Notes
'Florence Forrester' rose (Rosa 'Florence Forrester') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It bears fragrant white blooms from late spring to early autumn, and bees visit them. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1914.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Fountain grass, and Arrowwood viburnum.
