Notes
'Cinco de Mayo' rose (Rosa 'Cinco de Mayo') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The ruffly russet flowers have a light, sweet apple fragrance and bloom again and again. Bees and butterflies visit them. Thomas F. Carruth bred it.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, The President clematis, and Casa Blanca lily.
