Notes

'Professor Boesman' rose (Rosa 'Professor Boesman') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It bears fragrant, medium pink blooms from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, so it adds life to the garden.

Pairs well with New Jersey tea, Blue fescue, and Niobe clematis.
