Notes
'Lavender Crush' rose (Rosa 'Lavender Crush') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The mauve flowers have a strong lemony fragrance and attract bees. It can climb up to eight feet tall, so try it on an obelisk or short fence. You can also prune it to keep it a shrub.
Pairs well with Royal Purple smoketree, Ox-eye daisy, and Casa Blanca lily.
