Notes
'Queen of the Belgians' rose (Rosa 'Queen of the Belgians') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 orange-pink blooms open in late spring, repeat through summer, and return in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Elisha J. Hicks bred it in 1916.
Pairs well with Foxglove, Sweet pepperbush, and Niobe clematis.
