Notes
'Lilac Charm' rose (Rosa 'Lilac Charm') 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. The mauve blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Edward Burton Le Grice bred it in 1962.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Fountain grass, Cora Louise peony, and Butterfly bush.
