Notes
'Mrs John K. Allan' rose (Rosa 'Mrs John K. Allan') 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. Light pink, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, so it adds life to the garden. It was introduced in 1920.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Lemon thyme, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
