Notes
'Malicorne' rose (Rosa 'Malicorne') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Georges Delbard bred it in 1982. The large blooms sit on long, strong stems and have a delicate rose scent. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Star Gazer lily, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
