Notes

'Mme Louis Laperrière' rose (Rosa 'Mme Louis Laperrière') 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 over dark green leaves. Bees visit the flowers, and the upright habit suits a mixed bed. EFR introduced it in 1951.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Hummingbird's mint, and Joe-pyeweed.
