Notes
'Hélène de Roumanie' rose (Rosa 'Hélène de Roumanie') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 upright shrub bears fragrant red blend blooms in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Francis Meilland bred it.
Pairs well with Guacamole hosta, Ornamental onion, and Cora Louise peony.
