Notes
'Mrs F. W. Flight' rose (Rosa 'Mrs F. W. Flight') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deep pink blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Bloom comes in spring and again in summer. Crimson Rambler and The Garland are the parents, and it was introduced in 1905.
