Notes
'Racquel' rose (Rosa 'Racquel') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The light pink blooms are fragrant and open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2012.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Sedge, and African marigold.
