Notes
'Mme Hardy' rose (Rosa 'Mme Hardy') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. White blooms open from early to late summer and have a sweet fragrance. Bees visit the flowers, and the light green leaves set off the white petals.
Pairs well with Coral Charm peony, Casa Blanca lily, and Climbing hydrangea.
