Notes
'Lady Elsie May' rose (Rosa 'Lady Elsie May') 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. Orange-pink, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer and attract bees. Reinhard Noack bred it, and it stays upright and compact at about 35 inches tall.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Little bluestem, Queen of Night tulip, and Clematis.
