Notes
'Isobel' rose (Rosa 'Isobel') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°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, and the blooms close at night. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1916.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Catnip, Snapdragon, and Society garlic.
