Notes

'Lilibet' rose (Rosa 'Lilibet') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It has a bushy habit and fragrant light pink blooms. Flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Robert V. Lindquist bred it in 1953.

Pairs well with Blue Chiffon rose of sharon, Fountain grass, and Great blue lobelia.
