Notes
'The Mayflower' rose (Rosa 'The Mayflower') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 pink blend blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. David C. H. Austin bred it in 2001.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Stargazer lily, and Bouquet peony.
