Notes

'Mlle Cécile Brünner' rose (Rosa 'Mlle Cécile Brünner') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Light pink, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the dark green leaves set them off. Pernet-Ducher introduced it in 1880.

Pairs well with Clary sage, Ornamental onion, and Butterfly bush.
