Notes

'Mrs Forde' rose (Rosa 'Mrs Forde') 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. Pink blend flowers are fragrant and open from early to late summer. Bees visit the blooms, and the flowers last well in a vase.

Pairs well with Catnip, Clary sage, and Blue fescue.
