Notes
'Louise Estes' rose (Rosa 'Louise Estes') 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. The fragrant pink blooms start light pink with a white reverse and darken as they age. Bees visit the flowers. Joseph F. Winchel bred it.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Blue fescue, and Viburnum.
