Notes
'The Queen Alexandra Rose' rose (Rosa 'The Queen Alexandra Rose') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, 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. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1918. The bushy plant stays about 24 inches tall and has dark green leaves. Fragrant red blend blooms attract bees in late spring, summer, and early autumn.
Pairs well with Cora Louise peony, Japanese forest grass, and The President clematis.
