Notes
'Christian Dior' rose (Rosa 'Christian Dior') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Francis Meilland bred it in 1959. The fragrant, medium red blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Sasanqua camellia, Stock, Bellflower, and Anemone.
