Notes
'A Shropshire Lad' rose (Rosa 'A Shropshire Lad') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. 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. The fragrant flowers open in a cupped rosette shape and attract butterflies and bees. David C. H. Austin bred it.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Stargazer lily, and Jackmanii clematis.
