'Flora Colonia' rose (Rosa 'Flora Colonia') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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. Medium pink blooms open from early to late summer and have a sweet fragrance. Bees visit the flowers. Tim-Hernann Kordes bred it in 2015.
