Notes
'Kristin' rose (Rosa 'Kristin') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The double white flowers have carmine red edges and last a long time when cut. Bees visit the blooms, and Frank A. Benardella bred it in 1992.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Culver’s root, and Japanese forest grass.
