Notes
'Helen Traubel' rose (Rosa 'Helen Traubel') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Herbert C. Swim bred it, and Armstrong Nursery introduced it in 1951. The pink blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn.
Pairs well with Sasanqua camellia, Anemone, and Carolina jessamine.
