Notes
'Melody Parfumée' rose (Rosa 'Melody Parfumée') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The mauve flowers smell of lemon, old rose, and clove. They bloom in clusters in spring, summer, and autumn. Francois Dorieux II bred it.
Pairs well with Sweet William, Bridal wreath spiraea, and The President clematis.
