Notes

'Rambling Rector' rose (Rosa 'Rambling Rector') is a shrub for cottage gardens, privacy screens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant white flowers attract butterflies and bees. Daisy Hill Nursery introduced it in 1910. It grows 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, so give it plenty of room.

Pairs well with Peony, The President clematis, and Queen of Night tulip.
