Notes

'Queen of Denmark' rose (Rosa 'Queen of Denmark') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Medium pink, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. James Booth bred it in 1846.

Pairs well with Lavender, Peony, Foxglove, and Cat mint.
