Notes
'Helen Keller' rose (Rosa 'Helen Keller') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant pink blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Anna Medici Barni bred it.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Inkberry, and Sedge.
