Notes
'De Colores' rose (Rosa 'De Colores') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Red blend flowers are fragrant and open from early to late summer. Bees visit the blooms, and the dark green leaves set off the color. Michel Adam bred it in 2006.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Japanese forest grass, and Royal Purple smoketree.
