Notes
'Botero' rose (Rosa 'Botero') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium red, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer on upright stems. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, medium green leaves look good all season. Alain Meilland bred it.
Pairs well with Hardy hibiscus, Big bluestem, and Ornamental onion.
