Notes
'Tourmaline' rose (Rosa 'Tourmaline') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The pink blend flowers are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. André Delbard-Chabert bred it, and Cuthbert introduced it in 1970.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Blanket flower, and Fountain grass.
