Notes
'Bolero' rose (Rosa 'Bolero') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. Its ivory double blooms hold 100 or more petals and have a strong fruity scent with hints of lemon, verbena, and spice. The flowers come back through the season. Alain Meilland bred it in 2004.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Baby's breath, and Jackmanii clematis.
