Notes
'Raoul Follereau' rose (Rosa 'Raoul Follereau') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, 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 deep pink flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. Delbard introduced it, and G. Delbard bred it.
Pairs well with Buckeye Belle peony, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
