Notes
'Le Petit Prince' rose (Rosa 'Le Petit Prince') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows into a bushy shrub with medium green leaves and fragrant mauve blooms. Bees visit the flowers, which open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Arnaud Delbard bred it in 2008.
Pairs well with Culver’s root, Japanese forest grass, and Smoketree.
