Notes
'Gene Boerner' rose (Rosa 'Gene Boerner') 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 pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They appear in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Eugene S. Boerner bred it.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Little bluestem, and Baby's breath.
