Notes
'St Helena' rose (Rosa 'St Helena') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows upright and bears fragrant, medium pink blooms from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the blooms make good cuttings for a vase.
Pairs well with Lemon verbena, Creme de Cassis dahlia, and Italian cypress.
