Notes

'Bay Cottage' rose (Rosa 'Bay Cottage') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It stays low and spreads, and it grows 16 to 24 inches tall. Deep pink flowers open in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2004.
