Notes
'Botticelli' rose (Rosa 'Botticelli') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage 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. Medium pink blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves form a compact mound. Michèle Meilland Richardier bred it.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Creeping thyme, and Stargazer lily.
