Notes
'Milrose' rose (Rosa 'Milrose') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The bushy plant bears fragrant, medium pink blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. André Delbard-Chabert bred it in 1970.
Pairs well with Blazing star, False indigo, and Japanese forest grass.
