Notes
'Señorita de Alvarez' rose (Rosa 'Señorita de Alvarez') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It has a bushy habit and dark green leaves. Fragrant, medium pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn, and bees visit them. Benjamin R. Cant bred it in 1931.
Pairs well with Amsonia, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Clematis, and Chaste tree.
