Notes

'Mevrouw Dora van Tets' rose (Rosa 'Mevrouw Dora van Tets') 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. Medium red, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the cut stems carry that scent indoors. Breeders introduced it in 1913.

Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Japanese forest grass, Nelly Moser clematis, and Blue mistflower.
