Notes
'Gentle Hermione' rose (Rosa 'Gentle Hermione') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It bears fragrant, light pink blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and bees and butterflies visit them. The bushy plant grows 35 to 47 inches tall. David Austin bred it in 2005.
Pairs well with Hidcote lavender, Catmint, Lady's mantle, and Caradonna sage.
