Notes
'Lesley Dudley' rose (Rosa 'Lesley Dudley') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Samuel Davidson McGredy III bred it in 1932. The fragrant orange-pink blooms appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Gladiolus.
