Notes

'Princesse Louise' rose (Rosa 'Princesse Louise') is a climbing shrub for cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, privacy screens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant mauve flowers open in spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees and butterflies visit them. The canes are armed with thorns, so wear gloves when you prune. Antoine A. Jacques bred it.

Pairs well with Integrifolia group, Lavender, and Lady's mantle.
