Notes

Gis rose (Rosa '3gis') 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 sun and loamy or clay soil. Dark red blooms open from early to late summer. The flowers are fragrant, and bees visit them.

Pairs well with Panicle hydrangea, Silver sage, and Japanese forest grass.
