Notes
'Viscountess Charlemont' rose (Rosa 'Viscountess Charlemont') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium pink, fragrant blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Samuel Davidson McGredy III bred it in 1937.
Pairs well with False indigo, Arrowwood viburnum, Casa Blanca lily, and Blazing star.
