Notes
'Paris-Match' rose (Rosa 'Paris-Match') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The deep pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They appear in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Francis Meilland bred it in 1958.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Ornamental onion, and Creeping phlox.
