'Darcey Bussel' rose (Rosa 'Darcey Bussel') is a shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide, so it fits small spaces. The flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
