Notes
'Bukavu' rose (Rosa 'Bukavu') 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. Red blend flowers are fragrant and bloom in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Louis Lens bred it in 1998.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Nelly Moser clematis, and Fragrant Bouquet hosta.
