Notes
'Allegro' rose (Rosa 'Allegro') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant orange-red blooms appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Alain Meilland bred it in 1962. The bushy plant has green, leathery leaves.
Pairs well with Chocolate cosmos, Society garlic, and Anemone.
