Notes
'Lest We Forget' rose (Rosa 'Lest We Forget') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Red blend flowers open from early to late summer and have a sweet fragrance. Bees visit the blooms, and the bushy form has dark green leaves. Christopher Warner bred it.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Jackmanii clematis, and Buckeye Belle peony.
