Notes
'Martin Frobisher' rose (Rosa 'Martin Frobisher') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. Fragrant light pink flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn, and bees visit the blooms. Felicitas J. Svejda bred it in 1968.
Pairs well with Bobo hydrangea, American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, and Polish Spirit clematis.
