Notes
'Fragrant Plum' rose (Rosa 'Fragrant Plum') 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 sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright shrub reaches about 47 inches tall. Its richly fragrant lavender blooms have deeper edging and attract bees. Jack E. Christensen bred it.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Lily, Ornamental onion, and Common blue violet.
