Notes
'Queen Mary' rose (Rosa 'Queen Mary') 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 fragrant yellow blend flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Alexander Dickson II bred it in 1914.
Pairs well with False indigo, Ornamental onion, and Blue grama.
