Notes
'Bella Donna' rose (Rosa 'Bella Donna') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant mauve blooms have a golden eye and attract bees. It blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn, so you get flowers for a long season. Komatsu Gardens introduced it in 1964.
Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Hummelo betony.
